Proceeding contribution from Jamie Reed (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 17 November 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Flooding (West Cumbria).

Flooding (West Cumbria)

I am speaking into the microphone this time, Mr Sheridan. My hon. Friend mentions the role of the media in the floods last year, and the crucial public service that they performed in informing people about water levels, weather forecasts and the emergency responses that were in place. Was he as saddened as I was to see such a stark contrast between how the media undertook and performed such a fundamental good this time last year, and how they acted in June?
