Future Flood Prevention

Proceeding contribution from Andrew Murrison (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 27 February 2017. It occurred during Estimates day on Future Flood Prevention.

I am listening with great interest to my hon. Friend’s speech. Is he familiar with the practice undertaken by some local authorities of diverting floodwater from roads on to farmers’ fields without permission, thus washing away topsoil of the sort that I think he is about to touch on, and also potentially introducing pollutants into sensitive sites?
