§ Mr. Cartwrightasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will approve any further grants from the Greater London council to the Greater London enterprise board under the Local Government (Interim Provisions) Act 1984.
§ Mrs. RumboldBefore considering any proposals for further GLC grant aid to the Greater London enterprise board my right hon. Friend has asked the GLC to provide firm evidence of commitments to future funding by London borough councils, information about the board's future requirements for financial support and an independent assessment of the board's ability to continue as a going concern. These have not yet been provided.
My right hon. Friend would of course have to be satisfied that further expenditure by the GLC would be both expedient and in the interests of the Greater London area or its inhabitants.
