Proceeding contribution from Lord Rooker (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 23 July 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Flooding.
Flooding
My Lords, I am just hoping that the barrier will work, as it is the one flood defence that we have. It is old and it is sinking and it does more work than was planned, so we must look at that for the future. The noble Viscount is quite right: the Thames is going to rise. The surge of the Thames at various locations is yet to come.
