§ Tim LoughtonTo ask the Deputy Prime Minister how many local authorities have implemented the Learning Curve neighbourhood renewal scheme; and if he will list them. [83267]
§ Mrs. RocheThe Learning Curve, published on 21 October, is the Government's strategy to promote better skills and knowledge for everyone working in neighbourhood renewal. It sets out 23 measures, including face to face advice, regional networks, and an innovative website, renewal. net, to ensure that everyone, including local authority staff working in our most deprived areas can acquire the skills and knowledge they need to deliver real, lasting change. Some measures are already in place, others will be developed with a range of organisations, including the Local Government Association and local authorities, over the coming months.
I have placed a copy of the Learning Curve strategy in the House Libraries.
