Proceeding contribution from Clive Betts (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 April 2012. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Regeneration.
Regeneration
I will explain what I think it is about. The hon. Gentleman anticipates me. I do not know whether it is helpful to give a simple definition of regeneration to cover all possible examples, but it should reflect some elements of regeneration schemes. The hon. Gentleman's first point is right. There was a lot of mixing up of regeneration and growth. For example, High Speed 2 and Crossrail were mentioned in the Government's regeneration paper as examples of funding to help regeneration. It is a fairly big stretch of anyone's imagination to link HS2 and Crossrail to the potential for regeneration schemes. That is a little step too far. I am happy to support those schemes and believe they will help economic growth nationally, but I am not sure whether they really relate to particular regeneration.
