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

No, I am not. I am moving it in order to assist the Committee in the procedure. I shall not expect a reply from the Minister, but if he wishes to reply, that is entirely up to him. Otherwise, we will get into a certain amount of difficulty. On Amendment 19, Clause 7(4) provides that the national flood and coastal erosion risk strategy is to be published in the form of a summary. That is all that it says. It seems to me that it should be published fully, and I therefore wish to replace the words "a summary" with "the strategy and a summary". It seems extraordinary that a document of this importance would not be properly published. I beg to move.
