FLOOD DEFENCES

Early day motion 463, tabled 20 March 2001 by Helen Clark (Labour). Signed by 10 members.

That this House commends the BBC for the Panorama programme on flood defence in the Yorkshire region; recognises the horror and disruption flooding has caused local people; deplores the fact that Government money given to local authorities for the specific purpose of combating flood damage has in some cases been diverted to fund other services; believes that new build should not take place in flood risk areas without full public consultation; and call upon the Government to provide sufficient long-term funding for flood defence.

Signatures by party: Labour 10.
