§ Mrs. EllmanTo ask the Deputy Prime Minister how many community and resident representatives have resigned from positions in regeneration partnerships over the past three years; and what assessment he has made of their reasons. [162573]
§ Yvette CooperThis information is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost. There are a very large number of regeneration partnerships in existence across the country and there is no central record of how many there are, or of their membership. Many are locally established and have no central Government involvement.
§ Mrs. EllmanTo ask the Deputy Prime Minister if he will make a statement on the adequacy of current arrangements for payments made to residents and community representatives involved in regeneration programmes. [162574]
§ Yvette CooperThe Government welcomes and values the contributions that residents and community representatives make to regeneration partnerships. The arrangements for making any payments to those community representatives who are involved in regeneration programmes vary, depending on the programme and the nature of their involvement. If there are issues relating to the arrangements for a regeneration programme for which the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister is responsible that my hon. Friend wishes to bring to my attention, then I would be happy to look into them.
