HC Deb 21 July 1982 vol 28 cc197-8W
32. Mr. Tilley

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he is satisfied with the economic regeneration created by the inner city partnerships.

Mr. King

I believe that the partnerships are making a significant contribution towards the massive task of bringing about the economic regeneration of their areas. These are supported by the highest ever level of urban programme resources.

The presentations that we are holding in different parts of the country and the urban development grant that my right hon. Friend announced in April, should both help also by encouraging greater private sector involvement and investment.
