Proceeding contribution from Lord Spicer (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 July 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Flooding.


Flooding

What is the point of having flood defences that are not used when they are most needed? That was certainly the case at Upton upon Severn, despite what the Secretary of State says—and much to the distress of my constituents who are still stranded there now. Will he ensure that the Upton mistakes are part of the remit of the independent review that he has announced?
