Clause 27
Housing and Regeneration Bill

Margaret Moran (Luton South, Labour)
When my hon. Friend reviews the measure, can he look at its scope? The Centre for Research and Market Intelligence is the research and innovation part of the Housing Corporation and I assume that it will be subsumed by the new agency. It deals with some innovative work. It has done work around procurement and around best practice in equalities, for example, which is not project-specific, but more wide-ranging. It is leading edge in terms of best practice, which I know my hon. Friend will want to see from the new agency. I am a little concerned that the wording here may be a little restrictive and may inhibit that kind of best practice project from going forward.
