Sir William Elliott

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement as to the composition of the partnership committees concerned with urban revitalisation.

Mr. Steen

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement as to the composition of the partnership committees concerned with urban revitalisation.

Mr. King

Partnership committees comprise Government Ministers, elected members of local authorities and members of area health authorities. I am anxious to keep their size, and supportive bureaucracy, down: but I intend to ensure that local authority minority parties are represented where this is not already the case.
