Flooding (No. 2)

EDM number 1374 in 2005-06, proposed by Peter Ainsworth on 16/01/2006.

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 but is concerned that current strategies will result in increased flooding by neglect of defences; believes that in all areas of flood risk steps should be taken to slow the flow of water by developing traditional flood plains using funds for environmental improvement; further notes the continuing development taking place on land susceptible to flooding; and calls on the Government immediately to prevent building on such land and to investigate up-stream measures of retaining water including its possible use for power generation.

This motion has been signed by a total of 62 MPs.
