Proceeding contribution from Lord Campbell-Savours (Labour) 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

They may have regard to what my noble friend just referred to, but equally they must have regard to the fact that they have a statutory duty to supply water. There is a conflict between the two. I am simply trying to move the balance a little more in favour of the protection of the environment and away from the duty to provide water. This may well have been the ideal place in the Bill to move that balance slightly.
