On Radio 4 last night. It seems to be conclusive that cats are not to blame and that loss of garden shrubbery to "easy-care" decking and concrete is a more likely culprit, because it reduces the number of insects on which sparrows feed their chicks.
Natural England have a database which lets you find garden plants that are particularly helpful for different animal species. There is an entry for house sparrows.
