Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Jenny Riddell-Carpenter and Steve Reed

Thursday 19th December 2024 Commons Chamber

[Steve Reed]

There will be an opportunity for Members to engage with Sir Jon Cunliffe’s commission in January, and I am sure that the right hon. Member’s Committee will want to do precisely that. The Water (Special Measures) Bill, which is going through Parliament right now, is intended to make quick changes to the system. Sir Jon’s review will give us the chance to reform regulation and governance for the long term.

[Jenny Riddell-Carpenter (Suffolk Coastal) (Lab)]

I recently met the Alde and Ore Estuary Trust, which has long been campaigning and fundraising to refurbish and secure flood defences on the Alde and Ore estuary. Will the Minister meet me to discuss the trust’s projects and the barriers to progress?
