HC Deb 02 July 1980 vol 987 cc594-5W
40. Mr. Butcher

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what measures he is taking to review the performance of the partnership authorities.

Mr. Heseltine

I have already announced the setting-up of a three-man team to monitor the performance of the Liverpool partnership, and am discussing similar arrangements elsewhere. More generally, the scrutiny of partnership programmes affords an opportunity for reviewing their performance.
