Proceeding contribution from John Healey (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 7 June 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Rating (Empty Properties) Bill.


Rating (Empty Properties) Bill

As I shall explain more fully later, the Bill is not a policy measure designed to deal with a problem located only in the south-east. What my hon. Friend says is true, but this is a specific Bill with a specific purpose. I know that my hon. Friend has taken an interest in a much wider review that the Government are conducting on reinforcing the capacity of areas to lead and encourage more redevelopment and regeneration. I welcome the contributions that she has already made from a Stoke-on-Trent perspective, and I look forward to hearing her speech.
