§ Mr. Alfred MorrisTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what plans he has to extend the city pride initiative; and if he will make a statement. [23422]
§ Mr. Curry[holding answer 11 May 1995]: Three cities, Birmingham, London and Manchester, are currently taking part in the city pride initiative, and have all made excellent progress in drawing up a prospectus setting out their vision for the future. As my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State said in the House on 4 November 1993, Official Report, column 516, these are the pilot areas on which city pride is currently concentrated. We will wish to assess progress with the city pride initiative in these areas before any extension.
