HC Deb 13 July 1988 vol 137 c274W
88. Mr. Tredinnick

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what evaluation there has been of his support for design scheme.

Mr. Butcher

An independent evaluation report on the support for design scheme was published on 21 June. It shows the scheme to have been beneficial and cost effective. Full account was taken of it in planning the consultancy elements of the enterprise initiative. Such evaluation is important to ensure that our services to industry are an effective use of public funds.

Copies of the report have been placed in the Library.
