Proceeding contribution from Lord Campbell-Savours (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 23 November 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Flooding in Cumbria.
Flooding in Cumbria
Will my noble friend seek to establish why on the day before the floods, at a time when Cumbria was on flood alert, the River Greta was allowed to drop more than one metre when it should have been running at full spate and releasing water from Thirlmere, thereby easing the subsequent flooding problems in west Cumberland? Will Ministers seek to establish what the position is on this important matter?
