HC Deb 14 July 1977 vol 935 cc225-6W
45. Sir W. Elliott

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what particular development work of the comprehensive community programme has influenced Her Majesty's Government when drawing up their White Paper entitled "Policy for the Inner City".

Mr. Guy Barnett

The chief contribution lay in the approach adopted in the development work, in particular the emphasis on diverting the main policies and programmes of local and central Government and on securing a more unified approach by the authorities and agencies concerned to the problems of urban deprivation.
