22. Mr. Llwyd

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office what policy initiatives are under consideration to address problems in rural areas. [128670]

Marjorie Mowlam

We are preparing a Rural White Paper for England, led jointly by DETR and MAFF, to set out the Government's vision for rural areas. As part of the preparation of the White Paper we are considering a number of new policy initiatives, which will be announced when the White Paper is published together with a White Paper on urban policy.
