HC Deb 16 April 1986 vol 95 c387W
Mr. Livsey

asked the Paymaster General what progress has been made in combating innercity unemployment by city action teams.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

The main aim of the city action teams is to promote joint working between Departments so that their spending in the inner city areas they cover is more effective in terms of employment, industry and environment. I am satisfied that there has been significant progress over the past year through jobs created, training provided, industry assisted and urban areas improved.
