Spending Review
House of Commons debates, 11 June 1997, 3:30 pm
Ms Beverley Hughes (Stretford & Urmston, Labour)
I warmly welcome my right hon. Friend's statement and the clear direction that it gives. He referred to exploring the potential for further public-private sector partnerships. As a former leader of a metropolitan authority, may I ask him whether the Government will build on the outstanding record of Labour local authorities in initiating, sustaining and developing partnerships between the public and private sectors?
