Proceeding contribution from Lord Methuen (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 17 May 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Water Supply.
Water Supply
My Lords, is the Minister aware of a 1930s scheme called the grand contour canal, which I think was at the 600-foot contour? It was devised to take water all around England, providing both water distribution and navigation—or recreation, in this day and age. It would have covered the entire country to bring water from areas which had it to those that had not.
