Flooding
EDM number 1342 in 2005-06, proposed by Norman Baker on 10/01/2006.
That this House notes with concern the increased incidence of flooding in the UK, a situation which the onset of climate change can only exacerbate; acknowledges the increased investment in flood defence monies which the Government has provided; notes however that a national assessment of needs for flood defences, commissioned by the Government last year, predicts that the current level of funding will fall short of what is needed by £700 million over the next 10 years; agrees with the Association of British Insurers that `investment must continue to rise in real terms over a sustained period'; and calls on the Treasury to respond accordingly.
This motion has been signed by a total of 65 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
