Proceeding contribution from Roger Williams (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 17 December 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Pitt Report.
Pitt Report
When homes and businesses are flooded, very often the first help comes from the fire and rescue services—I speak from experience as the cellar of my constituency office was flooded last summer—but I am told that the funding formula for the fire and rescue services does not include any flood work or the resources to do that work. The Secretary of State said in his statement that he was also putting money into improving our flood rescue capability. Does that mean that the fire and rescue services will now get real support for the work that they do, which is so valued during times of flooding?
