Proceeding contribution from Hilary Benn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 July 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Flooding.


Flooding

I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman, because he draws attention to the willingness of authorities that have not been affected, and the people who work for them, to extend a helping hand. Contingency planning is already taking place, but I hope that it will not come to that, and that the Walham electricity plant can be protected. However, those with responsibility for managing this emergency are looking at what may need to be done if the worst happens.
