Debate on the Address

As I have said in at least two speeches in the Chamber, referring specifically to Norfolk although not specifically to north Norfolk, what we need is polderisation, particularly in East Anglia and other low-lying areas in the United Kingdom. I am no expert, but I think that in some instances we shall need to adopt almost a military approach, and say ““So much land is going to be lost. Let us fall back a bit and polderise 30 m inland rather than always chasing our own tails.”” However, I suspect that no one knows—even some of the hon. Gentleman’s constituents, who will know the area intimately—whether we should adopt that quasi-military fall-back strategy, or whether we should seek to polderise on the existing shoreline.
