HC Deb 10 December 1979 vol 975 c475W
Mr. Arnold

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what progress he has made in streamlining the work of the inner city partnership committees.

Mr. King

We are ensuring that partnership meetings are no larger and no more frequent than their essential purposes require; arrangements will vary according to the individual needs of partnerships. We have consulted local authorities on measures aimed at streamlining the administration of the urban programme, and are considering their comments.
