Partnership Schemes

HC Deb 31 January 1979 vol 961 cc436-7W

32. Mr. Arnold

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

Mr. Shore

Yes. As I told the hon. Member last November, the programmes agreed are a good beginning.—[Vol. 957, c. 223.] Partnerships are now rolling these forward, against the background of the increased resources recently announced in the Government's White Paper on public expenditure (Cmnd. 7439).
