Mr Pickles
My hon. Friend does not need to rely on me; the Prime Minister said so loud and clear yesterday.
Mark Pritchard (The Wrekin) (Con)
The floods have caused huge anxiety not only in south-west England but in some parts of Shropshire. Does the Secretary of State agree that one way to mitigate future flooding is to ensure that new home development is not excessive, and also bears in mind the physical infrastructure such as drainage in local towns and villages?
Mr Pickles
My hon. Friend is perhaps one of the cleverest people to lobby a Minister. I got the message.
