Proceeding contribution from Angela C Smith (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 June 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Pitt Report.
Pitt Report
I have 13 reservoirs in my constituency, so I very much welcome the investment in reservoir safety and the forthcoming legislation. Although it is of course necessary to invest in hard flood defences, does my right hon. Friend not agree with Natural England that it is also necessary to invest in the capacity of our upland catchment areas to manage water effectively in the first place, to reduce the incidence of water surging downstream and damaging cities such as Sheffield?
