Mr. MacShane

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will assess the benefits of introducing renewal area status for self-contained groups of fewer than 300 dwellings. [101413]

Mr. Mullin

My Department is currently considering a number of issues relating to policy on private sector housing renewal, which includes policy on renewal areas. The housing Green Paper, which will be published shortly, will provide an opportunity for us to set out our thinking on these and other housing issues.
