Proceeding contribution from Lord Beamish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 17 November 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Flooding (West Cumbria).
Flooding (West Cumbria)
I join my hon. Friend in congratulating the Army, and I also congratulate the reservists on the role that they played in securing the footbridge. The Minister had a bit part in the Government's response to the Cumbria floods. Does my hon. Friend not worry, as I do, that with the abolition of the Government office for the north-west, which played a key role in co-ordinating not just the Army's response but that of other agencies, and the abolition of the other RDAs, there will be a gap there for any other future natural, or other, disaster in the English regions?
