Environment Agency Funding
EDM number 2829 in 2005-06, proposed by David Drew on 23/10/2006.
That this House notes the effects of climate change with the increased incidence of flooding and coastal erosion; believes that it is very disappointing that the Environment Agency faces a cut of £25 million in this financial year, much of it due to come from reduced spending on flood defence schemes; further notes that the Agency may face further reductions in the next Comprehensive Spending Review if the current expenditure base is maintained; and therefore calls upon the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Ministers to review these cuts with an aim to restore budgets to previous levels.
This motion has been signed by a total of 69 MPs.
