Proceeding contribution from Martin Horwood (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 18 March 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Water Strategy.
Water Strategy
I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Truro and St. Austell (Matthew Taylor) on securing the debate, which, as he said, is not the first on this issue. His determination and persistence in dealing with this matter, over many years, on behalf of his constituents does him enormous credit. Some of the issues that are relevant to the debate are specific to the south-west peninsular. Hon. Members from Cornwall enjoy a national asset in their stunning landscapes and coastlines, and as a user of his county's beaches, I, personally, do not begrudge the people of Cornwall a mechanism by which to redistribute more fairly the cost of keeping those beaches clean. I certainly would not object to second home owners paying a fairer share.
