HC Deb 15 January 1996 vol 269 cc378-9W
Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, pursuant to clause 3.4 of the urban development guidelines of April 1992, if he will place in the Library a copy of the criteria for selection and forms of partnership for each of the Welsh Development Agency's joint ventures with local authorities as contained in the agency's urban development programme. [8221]

Mr. Hague

Paragraph 3.4 of the April 1992 guidelines required the WDA, in its programme submissions, to describe the criteria it used to select and prioritise the locations in which it would undertake urban development programme activities, and to describe the forms of partnership in terms of where, and with whom, the agency would work with other organisations to implement the programme.

Approved programmes covering 1992–93 and 1993–94, including broad criteria, details of locations and partnership arrangements, are summarised in publications by the agency, copies of which have been placed in the Library of the House.
