Proceeding contribution from Lord Beith (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 17 December 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Pitt Report.
Pitt Report
May I remind the Secretary of State that a great many people in Northumberland are still out of their houses following this year's floods, and many more feel that their houses are vulnerable and will remain so unless the Environment Agency agrees to changes in river management? Will he use his good offices to ensure that his own Department deals with the serious damage to the harbour at Amble, and also to persuade the Minister of State, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, the right hon. Member for Liverpool, Wavertree (Jane Kennedy) to deal with the issue of funding for the district, county and unitary authorities?
