Proceeding contribution from Lord Selsdon (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 17 December 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Flooding: Pitt Report.
Flooding: Pitt Report
My Lords, I declare an historic interest in water and sewerage. I was in the Library yesterday to obtain an old book on the underground rivers of London, following the decision of the Mayor to open them all up, and suddenly wondered why, if you can have underground erosion, you cannot have underground flooding too. Has this issue been considered quite seriously?
