Water Bill

Proceeding contribution from Graham Stuart (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 25 November 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills on Water Bill.

Does my hon. Friend agree that not only is mapping important, but it is important for maps to be updated quickly? Following the completion

of a £3 million flood defence scheme in the village of Burstwick, in my constituency, it took more than a year for maps to be updated, and during that time residents were still being asked for higher insurance premiums because the insurance companies did not have access to the information.
