Proceeding contribution from Mark Todd (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 15 December 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Flood and Water Management Bill.
Flood and Water Management Bill
I want to interrupt the hon. Gentleman's Canute-like stance on this issue and ask him to set limits to this extraordinary attempt to defy the natural processes. We will have to surrender land to the sea on the east coast—there is no alternative strategy in some cases—and we really must be more honest with some of our citizens who may think otherwise for perfectly understandable personal reasons.
