Proceeding contribution from Baroness McIntosh of Pickering (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 8 September 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Flood and Water Management.


Flood and Water Management

I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for his declaration of interest. Is the problem in his view a matter of funding, the responsibility for which no longer lies with DEFRA but with the Department for Communities and Local Government? We stand by our recommendation, but does he think that we should go further? We say that the matter should be included in the funding formula applied to the emergency services. Does he share our disappointment that that has not been done immediately?
