Proceeding contribution from Lord Redwood (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 April 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

Under this part of the amendment, does the hon. Gentleman agree that the two most important steps that we must take to adapt—I agree with him that that is what we must do—are to collect more of the water that falls when it rains to use during the dry periods, and to have better coastal defences, especially to protect the 7 million people in the London area, because we are told that the Thames barrier will soon no longer be fit for purpose?
