Mr. Wray

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what steps he is taking in order to involve local authorities closely in his search for a solution to inner city problems.

Fifty seven authorities in England are invited to prepare co-ordinated inner area programmes to address local needs. Seventy five per cent. of approved expenditure is supported by urban programme grant.
