Proceeding contribution from Lord Benyon (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 26 October 2011. It occurred during Opposition day on Environmental Protection and Green Growth.


Environmental Protection and Green Growth

The hon. Gentleman forgets that a 50% cut in capital spending has to come from somewhere. I entirely accept that he might have said there would have been no cut to flood defence spending if Labour had won the election, but nobody believes that it would have survived in its entirety.
