Mr. Ennis: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what are his plans for English Partnerships
following the creation of regional development agencies. [47438]
Mr. Caborn: The work of English Partnerships (EP) is to be carried forward in the main by the Regional Development Agencies (RDAs)
as part of the Government's commitment to put decision-making on regeneration and economic development at the regional level.
Regeneration will be part of the RDAs' integrated regional strategies. The roles and functions of EP are to move to the RDAs as they
are established; the assets will transfer from EP to the RDAs; and regional EP staff will transfer to the RDAs in April 1999 (and
the following year for London).
This is a major organisational change and it will take time for the RDAs to get to grips with their new tasks and establish
themselves as influential and credible organisations on the regional, national and international scene. Ministers envisage that
there will be a transitional period of about five years when the experience and expertise of EP's remaining national capability will
be critical in providing the continuity on some major projects and should also prove useful to RDAs as they bed in.
I am placing a copy of a note in the Library which sets out the background to the changes, the work remaining with EP, and the
merger of EP and the Commission for the New Towns in 2000, which I have already announced. The note has been issued today to the
Government Offices for the Regions and to EP staff.

Ms Buck: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions how he intends the new approach to planning
for future housing requirements to be taken into account in existing reviews of regional planning guidance and development plans.
[37596]
Mr. Caborn: The statement "Planning for the Communities of the Future", Cmnd 3885, points out, in paragraph 33, the need for an
orderly transition from the old to the new policy. The new approach will be introduced, as soon as possible, through reviews of
Regional Planning Guidance. We will discuss with the Regional Planning Conferences how far it will be possible to introduce the new
arrangements into existing review processes, some of which are likely to be completed next year. In the meantime, where development
plans are being replaced or altered, they should continue to have regard, inter alia, to existing regional guidance. However, in
considering whether to object to proposals put forward in development plans, the Secretary of State will treat each case on its
merits, taking account of national policy, including that in the statement. A more detailed note on the transitional position has
been placed in the Library.
