Proceeding contribution from Barry Gardiner (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 8 September 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Flood and Water Management.


Flood and Water Management

Does the hon. Gentleman agree that the biodiversity offsetting provisions in the White Paper that the Government released earlier this year go a long way towards addressing this question? They propose a very commercial way of proceeding, but they can bring real biodiversity benefits by looking at an offset bank and ensuring that appropriate provision is made elsewhere. I thought that was one of the great features of the White Paper.
