Proceeding contribution from Lord Davies of Oldham (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 23 November 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Flooding in Cumbria.


Flooding in Cumbria

My Lords, the Government are all too aware of the risk of flooding. That is why we have in place the legislation that we are proposing, why we commissioned the Pitt report and why we have learnt the lessons of 2007. My noble friend is right that the issue of insurance is an important dimension of this situation. He may rest assured that the Government are fully seized of the importance of the matter.
