Proceeding contribution from Baroness Byford (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 17 March 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Flood and Water Management Bill.

Flood and Water Management Bill

I ask the noble Lord for some clarification. I declare my family’s farming interests. We are not directly involved in any aspect with regard to this Bill, but the interest should be declared. The Minister said that there are already existing powers in existing Acts, which I am happy to accept. Are those powers voluntary or compulsory? Could one local authority take a different view from another? Clearly, it would seem unfair if different sets of rules apply in different circumstances.
