HC Deb 08 November 1978 vol 957 c223W
43. Mr. Arnold

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he remains satisfied with the working of the partnership schemes.

Mr. Shore

All the seven partnerships have now agreed their inner area programmes for the years 1979 to 1982. The programmes are a good beginning for the co-ordinated commitment to their regeneration which these areas need and for translating that commitment into positive action to improve economic and social conditions in the inner areas.
