Proceeding contribution from Lord Greaves (Liberal Democrat) 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

My Lords, I shall speak also to Amendments 19 and 50. I apologise to the Committee because I will have to go at 7.45 pm. I have to catch the last train back to Skipton, otherwise I will be stranded in Leeds or somewhere dreadful. If I do not stay for the whole of the debate, I apologise. I was going to withdraw Amendment 17, but I think that it would cause procedural chaos. Therefore, although I move it, I shall not speak to it or expect any answers. I shall speak to Amendment 19. I will withdraw Amendment 50 because the noble Baroness, Lady Knight, has tabled Amendment 49A, which does the same thing, only much better. I shall support her amendment when she speaks to it.
