Flooding

Proceeding contribution from Rosie Cooper (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 26 February 2014. It occurred during Opposition day on Flooding.

Does the Secretary of State know whether any regulations are being used to stop dredging at this time? When farmers in my areas asked for dredging to take place, they were told that regulations say that it is the breeding season and that birds cannot be disturbed, so dredging has not occurred. Is there any way in which such regulations can be overruled?
