Flooding (Cumbria)

Proceeding contribution from Hilary Benn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 November 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Flooding (Cumbria).
I am sure that the National Trust—I believe that one of its representatives was on the radio this morning—will do everything that it can to ensure that that great tourist destination and an important part of Cumbria's history is available for people to visit. I am sure, too, that the local Members representing Cumbria will play a part in doing that. In addition to those Members who are in the House today, may I also pay tribute to my hon. Friends the Members for Copeland (Mr. Reed) and, in particular, for Workington (Tony Cunningham)? He has been hard at it since the crisis started, looking after his constituents, which is typical of the care and concern that all Members who represent Cumbrian constituencies have shown for the people whom they represent.
