Proceeding contribution from Philip Hollobone (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 18 June 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on UK Climate Projections.
UK Climate Projections
Kettering is located in one of the driest regions of England—the Anglian Water region—yet, under Government plans, it faces an increase of about a third in the number of houses by 2021. Given the variations in rainfall that the Secretary of State mentioned in his statement, is it not time to reconsider proposals for a national water grid, perhaps using Britain's canal network, as well as, unfortunately, a rapid increase in Britain's reservoir capacity?
