Proceeding contribution from John Bercow (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 7 December 2006. It occurred during Estimates day on Affordable Housing.

Lady agree that in legitimately seeking an expansion in the quantity of housing available in areas such as mine and others, it is important that the Government address in terms both the requirements for infrastructure in general and my constituents’ concerns about water shortages, sewerage capacity and implications for the food plain?
