Proceeding contribution from Hilary Benn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 June 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Pitt Report.
Pitt Report
I am sorry that I cannot give the hon. Gentleman the answer that I am sure he would like to hear. I am glad to hear that two of those schemes are going ahead. As I indicated in answer to an earlier question, there is more money, but in the end the Environment Agency has to prioritise from among a lot of competing schemes across the country. It is right that it should decide which schemes will go ahead. My job is to give it the money to help it to do that.
