TOE GO 20 Thursday February 10 1977 Fears Kerby neei bister Cities for Seadog Silkin rattles a sabre Deeding' of JUDY HILLMAN, Planning Correspondent i wmM share The Government intends to link the provision of more cash for the relief of inner city deprivation and decay with its? own direct involvement in projects at the rubble-strewn roots. In the opening speech to the joint Sunday Times Gulbenkian Foundation conference in Bristol yesterday, Mr Peter Shore, the Environment Secretaxy, stressed that the extra money would have to come from agreed public expenditure. Asked at a press conference later who would pay, he said: The rest of the communaty, in one way or another. In other words, the money will have to come from other Whitehall departments, other programmes of his own, such as new towns, or from counties outside the great conurbations, which can expect to lose still more help in the next rate support grant settlement. This, in turn, must mean further increases in most people's rates next year, in addition to the effect of inflation.

Mr Shore is likely to have a rough time finding up to 100 millions, as opposition grows to his plans to focus more money on areas which, are obviously deprived ut which overall already get a better than average distribution of national resources. Mr Shore's speech, which covered the need for more jobs, By better housing, and more resources, obviously reflects the thinking of the special Cabinet committee on inner cities, of which he is chairman. A Green Paper on its work is now expected in April. The first objective, Mr Shore said, was to improve the local economy of the inner cities, and, in particular, to preserve existing jobs. Local authorities would need to promote and nur- ture business, make available cheap premises for small firms, including the service sector.

It might even be' helpful, he added in a reference to pioneering work in Rochdale, to establish industrial improvement areas to enable the conversion of old premises and the construction of replacement, factories. Planning policies should be more sensitive to industrial and employment requirement," he said, and quoted London's dockland as a good example of an inner city area in which there might Be scope for new investment in large scale manufacturing industry. For the most part, however, it would be more a matter of helping the introduction of small firms. Conditions will need to be made attractive and potentially profitable in terms of sites, road access and labour force." Although the Midlands and South would have to accept the continued priority of the assisted areas, firms with a need to be within Britain's more prosperous regions would find that Government policy By IAN AITKEN, Political Editor iflSKit SS sOmulafe stil more divide strife at constituent level iu fiSJtfPhaLir as the party should be prepar- mSi he could keep the ball year but Manifesto MPs refuse to back Right-wing rally 'did pass on secrets' By JOHN ANDREWS Sources involved in the notice controversy of 1967 confirmed yesterday that the late Tory MP, Captain Henry Kerby, had indeed passed information received in confidence over to the Wilson' government. Colonel Sammy Lohan, who was sacked from his post as secretary of the Notice Committee (the Notice is a reuuest bv the Government to the press to stop publication of items that might endanger national security), said yesterday that he had passed inform ation in confidence to Captain Kerby concerning the alleged personal indiscretions of a Minister in the 1966-70 Wilson government.

This confidence had then been broken by Captain Kerby. Colonel Lohan's statement follows a statement on Tuesday by Sir Harold that Captain Kerby had complained of a journalist's attempt to discredit a Minister. Sir Harold was speaking after allegations in a book by Mr Joe Haines, former press secretary. The Politics of Power, that Captain Kerby had offered to trade Tory party secrets in return for a peerage or knighthood. This was followed yesterday, by a story from Chapman Pincher of the Daily Express, who was instrumental in causing the Notice controversy, that Can.

tain Kerby had given information to Sir Harold's Cabinet from 1966 to just before his death in 1971. Also involved at the time was Lord Wigg, the Government's Paymaster-General and adviser to Sir Harold on security mat-, ters. Mr Ray Mawby, Conservative MP for Totnes, said on Tuesday night that he knew "on very good authority" that Lord Wigg had been hampered by Lady Falkender, Sir Harold's personal and political sec retary, in his efforts to contact Sir Harold on security matters. Mr Mawby said that Lord Wigg in a Catch 22 situ ation wnere Lady Falkender stood between him and the Prime Minister but where he could not divulge anything to Lady Falkender because she re fused to submit to the security vetting applied to everyone else at Downing Street. Lord Wigg would not allow himself be quoted yesterday on the subject of Captain Kerby or on me revelations contained in Mr Haines's book.

But he did say: "I have no wish to alter anything contained in my memoirs on pages 315 and 316." The two pages refer in part to Lady Falkender. then Mrs Marcia Williams. Lord Wigg writes It.b'ecame all too clear that civil servants and colleagues had a formidable competitor for the Prime Minister's ear in Mrs Williams Unfortunately her growing influence was not in my view always exercised with wisdom or discretion. Although I kept as far away from Mrs Williams as possible, clashes were inevitable. "I wished to raise a matter of a confidential nature.

I told Wilson I would not talk about it in front of Mrs Williams. Wilson courteously asked if she would mind leaving. She flounced out, obviously in a very bad temper. Mrs Williams had behaved in a similar manner on other occasions when I would not discuss confidential or. delicate matters in her presence, but I took little notice, for I thought she exaggerated the of her influence." While Mr Haines's extraordinary tales of the relationship between Sir Harold, and Lady Falkender continue to breed dismay among' the Labour party, Opposition MPs were yesterday seizing the opportunity to discomfit the Government.

Mr. Nicholas Ridley, Mr-Michael Latham, Mr Nicholas Fairbairn, and Mr Michael Brotherton were joined, by the Liberal MP, Mr Clement Freud and the Labour MP' Mr Douglas tfoyle in tabling questions on the. Honours List procedure. Mr Neville Trotter, Conservative MP' for Tynemouth, yesterday tabled a question to the Prime Minister asking if there had been any changes in the Downing Street ''kitchen staff since Mr Callaghan's arrival; si bie voice in some constituency XALVi parties; and the evidence of n- tfrM no evidence to substantiate this. By MICHAEL MORRIS and JOHN PALMER The Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries went to sea yesterday exuding an unshakable confidence that Britain can rule the waves, or at least protect its fishing waters from a fleet of Russian trawlermen making threatening noises about defying new limits.

From the deck of a Eoyal Navy fisheries protection vessel, the frigate HMS Cleopatra, Mr John Silkin viewed what he described as British sovereign waters" and promised that anyone breaking t.hc law would be dealt with. The Russians have a few more days to decide whether to risk the wrath of Mr Silkin or to apply for licences which would entitle some of their trawlers to fish inside the Common Market's new 200-mile limits. EEC Foreign Ministers talked for 14 hours i.n Brussels, to hammer out an agree- ment on fishing policy and when the British Foreign Secretary. Mr Anthon Crosland, emerged in the early hours of yesterday, he admitted that technically the Eussian trawlers were fishing illegally" at present but added that if over the coining days there was no application for licences they will be finally illegal." The new limits restrict the number of licences that the Russians can apply for to 27, of which 17 can operate at one time and the Polish and East German fleets to five each. Mr Silkin flew in a ship-based helicopter over part of an illegal Russian fleet of 40 in the central North Sea, where licensed Russian trawlers would be restricted to six.

However, from the moment, probably in the next few days, when the Russians decide one way or the other, Britain will arrest Russian ships which do not have, licences. The East Germans and Poles have already applied for theirs. Thirteen Russian trawlers have already been boarded by protection vessels since January 1 but there are no unpleasant incidents and there will be no aggressive treatment of Russian ships while negotiations are taking place. Skippers of trawlers in the North Sea had a surprise visit from Mr bHKin when fie dropped in on them by helicopter and launch from the frigate. In a helmet and Goon-suit, he first took off in the Cleopatra's own Wasp helicopter, returning later to report seeing three Belgian trawlers and three British ones, and a lot of When the frigate reached a point -80 miles out of, the Tyne he was winched up to one of two much larger, shore-based helicopters, which ferried him and 15 journalists to the grounds where the 40 Russian trawlers are fishing without licences.

At a press conference before' the ship docked at North Shields last night, Mr Silkin said that he would bring into operation four measures to conserve dwind- -ling fish stocks: no fishing for pout a smaller whiting in the northern North Sea for eight months of the year because' it picks up haddock, a main protected species, at the same time; restrictions on by-catches species like cod, plaice and haddock are caught by trawling for fish meal for animals; only one net-type, and net-mesh size to be used when fishing for such catches; and no herring to be caught in the Sea. Mr Silkin having seen for himself the system of, protection for British'fishing fleets, concluded that the Navy frigates and RAF Nimrod aircraft can do the job, certainly much more effectively than the pessimists had believed possible in an area of 270,000 square miles. The seafaring Minister takes to the air became more helpful if they chose to go into inner Birmingham or London. Inner city policies must also include opportunities for retraining the unskilled. Limited resources' meant that the Government would have to be highly selective in its choice of areas deserving special attention.

If the resources could be found, the provision of funds could be linked to partnership arrangements with local authorities. Expanding on the need for action on a purely -practical level, Mr Shore said that the inner cities contained a great deal of existing infrastructure, such as roads, sewers, 1 schools, housing and commercial buildings, even if it wasn't all in good condition. "The consequences of turning our backs on the inner areas would, in my judgment, be likely to be mounting social an increasing sense of alienation, worsening crime and vandalism and, in some areas, racial tension as well. Commenting on Mr Shore's speech, Mr David Hall, director of the Town ana country can ning Association, said: "Mr Shore did not ask, let alone answer, the crucial-question of what kind of cities we really want. "To launch a bandwagon on employment growth for the inner cities is dangerously close to thinking one can go back to the high density city of the past.

One cannot. do something about the present state of the Party. The letter went on, "since last annual conference, many ePle have expressed deep concer? abotf the way things are ging: tne failure of the m. Government; the lack of a sen- democratic socialist tradition. Wo time was wasted at last night's Manifesto Group meeting, for it was the group's chairman, Sir Arthur Irvine, who raised the matter.

He told some 30-40 members that there was some misunderstanding that the ernun was linked with the effort to launch a national He insisted that there was no such connection and that it would be wrong for the Manifesto MPs to associate themselves with the plan. But Mr Wrigglesworth, the Manifesto secretary as well as sponsor of the new campaign, apologetically explained that there was no intention of linking the Manifesto organisation with his new group. But Mr Eric Moonman, MP for Basildon, carried the argument further with a strong criticism of the whole plan for a national organisation in the constituencies.

Mr Thorsen managed to get a few words in when he landed at Heathrow. He said he still hoped to make the film, in a year's time.

He also had something to say about the Queen, who took the very unusual step fast year of publicly describing the film as obnoxious. Mr Thorsen said yesterday I don't think it was very bright of her to have said that. Then' again, it was the first time she had used her brains, so perhaps it was a good Mr David Grant, managing director of Oppidan (UK) Ltd, the company that flew Mr Thorsen to London, said a German millionaire had given 10 film-makers 25,000 US dollars each "to put down on film their most erotic fantasy." He said Mr Thorsen was one of the directors who had filmed a sequence for the film, which opens in London today. The Home Office said that Mr Thorsen could appeal to the Appeals Tribunal, a notoriously slow process, even for those still within the country. Mr Thorsen has been refused permission to make his film in Denmark, Sweden, and France.

He managed to infuriate not only the but the Prime Minister, the Archbishops of Canterbury and Westminster, and, more predictably, Mrs Mary White-house.

There was some criticism that the economic review dealt with pay policy, and that if more money was available from the Government it should go towards creating new jobs and on capital projects aimed at bringing down unemployment. A section on prices is to be toughened, which will probably delay publication of the Government's consultative document on the new independent agency which will take the place of the prices commission.
