HOUSE PRICE CHANGES

Early day motion 139, tabled 19 November 2002 by Ashok Kumar (Labour). Signed by 18 members.

That this House notes that while house prices in the UK as a whole have risen a massive 77.1 per cent. over the last five years, in the North East this figure is just 3.7 per cent.; recognises that without Government assistance these areas are likely to fall into disrepair and begin a cycle of decline; and calls on the Government to encourage businesses to relocate to the North East to take advantage of the area's many advantages and assist in the regeneration of the region.

Signatures by party: Labour 18.
