Water Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Oxburgh (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 11 February 2014. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bills on Water Bill.

Amendment 161A scarcely needs any detailed discussion: we have spoken this afternoon on a number of occasions of the importance of getting information to people. Certainly, this was a plea that came to us through many of the verbal representations that we had when we saw various interested groups in the lead-up to the discussion of this Bill. I simply offer this proposal to use council tax demands as a simple and almost cost-free way of disseminating information very widely, reminding people on an annual basis of their vulnerability to flood. It could d serve as a portal to the various schemes and proposals that we discussed this afternoon.
