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 know from my discussions with Sir John Harman and Barbara Young of the Environment Agency how seriously they take the responsibility that they now have to comment on those planning applications under the new powers that we have given them, and am I sure—not least in the light of what we have experienced in the past month—that that is exactly what they will do.
