§ 31. Sir Sydney ChapmanTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will make a statement on the urban renaissance report produced by the urban task force. [68294]
§ Mr. CabornAn urban renaissance is vital in order to improve city environments and to tackle the problems of social exclusion. I welcome the Urban Task Force's Halfway Report 'Urban Renaissance'. The report shows that the Task Force's consultation exercise has gathered valuable contributions from a wide range of sources. This gives assurance that the Task Force's final recommendations will have a sound base. The Task Force will produce their final report and recommendations to the Deputy Prime Minister in the early summer.
