To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have sought or intend to seek advice from the government of the Netherlands concerning areas of farmland and domestic housing in England that are below sea level.[HL5147]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have sought or intend to seek advice from the government of the Netherlands concerning areas of farmland and domestic housing in England that are below sea level.[HL5147]
We have no plans to seek advice directly from the Government of the Netherlands in relation to these issues. However, experts from the Netherlands have been involved in discussions with local drainage boards and others in relation to future dredging and drainage of farmland on the Somerset Moors and Levels. The Environment Agency also has access to valuable Dutch expertise on these issues.
That expertise will be taken into account in the Action Plan for the Levels and Moors, which is currently under development. Once the Action Plan has been agreed we will consider whether lessons can be learned for other parts of the country.
