Proceeding contribution from Lord Cameron of Dillington (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 24 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 support these amendments. Without wishing to belittle the damage to property that has occurred from rain in recent years, when the seawalls were overtopped in 1953, 300 people died and £5 billion of property was damaged. Any flood risk strategy that does not include the fallout from floods caused by a breach of the seawall seems to me to be missing the biggest piece of the jigsaw.
