HC Deb 19 December 2003 vol 416 cc141-2W
Ms Buck

To ask the Deputy Prime Minister if he will make a statement on the impact of his policies on the constituency of Regent's Park and Kensington, North since 1997. [145420]

Mr. Raynsford

The information requested is not held centrally and can be obtained only at disproportionate cost, as such statistics are normally collected on the basis of administrative units (such as local authorities) rather than Parliamentary constituencies. The matter is further complicated as the constituency in question covers parts of two Local Authorities.

However, many of the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister's policies will have impacted significantly on the Regent's Park and Kensington, North constituency, including increased funding for local government, housing, neighbourhood renewal, and specific programmes to reduce rough sleeping and tackle social exclusion.
