Proceeding contribution from Huw Irranca-Davies (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 2 February 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Flood and Water Management Bill.

Flood and Water Management Bill

Entirely. That is exactly why we have introduced the new clause in its current form. In effect, we are taking a power that, although tightly drafted, still allows us to go out to full consultation, bring forward the underpinning regulations and guidance and make them fit for purpose. We do not want to pre-empt Anna Walker's package of proposals, as I made clear in Committee, but we might not have this opportunity again for a couple of years—who knows? In which case, we should introduce the measures now, so that we can move ahead.
