Water Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Hunt of Chesterton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 31 March 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills on Water Bill.

When the Minister refers to one in 200 years, that assumes that the next 200 years will not be the same as the previous 200. Things are changing very rapidly. Is this estimate really based on the rapid changes of climate that we are seeing? That is the purpose of referring the matter to the Committee on Climate Change. The committee is much more aware of the dynamical changes than the industry, which is essentially using past, rather static data.
