36. Mr. Lee

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment to what extent it is his policy to encourage private investment from the financial institutions to help revitalise the urban areas.

Mr. Heseltine

It is a fundamental part of my policy to encourage private investors to help in the revitalisation of our decaying inner urban areas. The financial institutions clearly have a vital role to play in this policy.
