Proceeding contribution from Baroness Byford (Conservative) 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, perhaps I may seek clarity from the Minister. I thank the noble Baroness for raising the question of the lack of clarity and responsibility. My question comes back to the debate that we had last week about the link between England and Wales. Flooding in England is often caused by the flooding of rivers in Wales that come into England. Is the Minister satisfied that the overlap of management between the two countries is strong enough in the Bill?
