Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Lord Benyon and Chris White

Thursday 25th October 2012 Commons Chamber

[Richard Benyon]

I have huge sympathy for everybody who was flooded throughout the summer. I can assure him that the Environment Agency and any other Government body will take what steps they can to make life easier, including by providing advice to residents through the local authority or directly.
