Business of the House

Following reports in some sections of the press last week about proposals for unwarranted and wholesale demolition in housing market renewal areas, will my right hon. Friend arrange for a debate about pathfinder schemes? Some of us could then give credit to organisations such as Transform South Yorkshire, which have responded well and consulted properly with our constituents about some radical but constructive proposals for regeneration in those areas. It would also be a good opportunity to allay the fears raised by some of those unwarranted and inaccurate press reports.
