§ Mr. Flook
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what plans he has to bring in new legislation suggested in the publication, "Private Action, Public Benefit" of December 2002; and if he will make a statement. [88840]

§ Beverley Hughes
The report, "Private Action, Public Benefit", was published on 25 September 2002 and the consultation period ran until the end of December 2002. Work has started on analysing the responses which have been received. The Active Community Unit will later this year publish an implementation plan for the recommendations arising from the report. The Government are in principle committed to legislate and will be looking for an early opportunity to do so.
