Proceeding contribution from John Grogan (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 17 December 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Pitt Report.
Pitt Report
Following the comments of my hon. Friend the Member for Stroud (Mr. Drew), may I refer particularly to recommendation 45 of the report? It states"““The Government should be encouraging more local communities to promote innovative schemes, including contributing towards the costs””." That has been done in the village of Elvington in my constituency, and there is a prospect of its being done in the village of Saxton. Should it perhaps be more of a priority for the Environment Agency, where possible, to provide technical advice and support for such schemes, as it is beginning to do in Yorkshire and the Humber?
