§ Mr. Alfred Morrisasked the Secretary of State for the Environment by how much in real terms the moneys available from his Department for Manchester's inner city programme will be cut in 1981–82 compared with 1980–81; and what effect he expects the cut to have on the programme.
§ Mr. King[pursuant to his reply, 6 April 1981, c. 212]: While the Manchester-Salford partnership allocation for 1981–82 is £17.14 million—at 1981–82 outturn prices—compared with £17.48 million for 1980–81—at 1980–81 outturn prices—a reduction of some 16 per cent. in real terms, the inner area will benefit, subject to completion of the necessary procedures, from the stimulus to economic activity provided by the Salford-Trafford Park enterprise zone.
