Proceeding contribution from Hilary Benn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 17 December 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Pitt Report.
Pitt Report
May I also express my condolences to Mr. Collier's family? On money for local authorities, under the current year's revenue support grant, £87 million was already in the system for dealing with flood risk, although I gather that local authorities spent slightly more than that. The £15 million I have announced today will be allocated in order of priority to authorities where we believe the risk is greatest, particularly in respect of surface water management. The hon. Gentleman raises an important point about schools. If he would be kind enough to give me the details of the particular school he mentioned, I will indeed follow it up with my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families.
