HC Deb 15 November 2001 vol 374 c833W
Ms Bridget Prentice

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions what progress has been made in delivering the Government's proposals for improving the quality of urban parks and green spaces. [15791]

Ms Keeble

The Urban Green Spaces Taskforce was set up in January 2001 to advise the Government on its proposals for improving the quality of our urban parks, play areas and green spaces.

The taskforce has, today, published its interim report: "Green Spaces, Better Places". The report describes the taskforce's work, some preliminary findings, and how proposals are being developed. Copies of the report are available in the Libraries of the House.

The final report of the taskforce will be published in April 2002.
