Proceeding contribution from Bob Spink (Independent (affiliation)) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 December 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Offshore Dredging.
Offshore Dredging
The hon. Gentleman has brought an important matter before the House. My fishermen and 40,000 of my constituents who live on Canvey Island share his concerns. The dredging of 32 million to 34 million cubic metres of spoil to make a deep, quarter-mile-wide trench for shipping for the new London gateway port at Corringham could have a devastating impact on Canvey Island's sea defences, which run alongside the area where the majority of that dredging will take place, but Ministers do not seem able to take that on.
