HC Deb 24 November 1987 vol 123 c128W
Mr. Gregory

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what the urban programme and the derelict land reclamation programme achieved in 1986–87; and what steps have been taken to improve their operation and performance.

Mr. Trippier

Copies of reports on the operation and achievements of the urban programme and the derelict land reclamation programme in England in 1986–87 have been placed in the Library of the House. The two reports describe how the resources available under each programme were used, explain recent improvements in management and monitoring and highlight examples of best practice.
