Mr. Frank Field

To ask the President of the Board of Trade, pursuant to his answer of 29 March,Official Report, columns 647-49, if he will consider making it a duty for authorities to consult local communities for the purposes of regional challenge; if he will publish rules indicating that the consultation should enable local communities to have an impact on decisions; and if he will ensure that the rules of this new competition do not allow for unnecessary competition between deprived communities.

Mr. Sainsbury

I have nothing to add to my reply of 29 March.
