Speaking in the House of Lords on 19 June 2025

Debate

Rivers and Estuaries: Derelict Boats

Contribution

My Lords, this is a very serious matter. I think of the history of the River Hull, for instance, where the dredging authorities, in order to keep the flows going and avoid flooding in irrigation, had great problems in being able to move sunken or half-sunken boats. Surely something more can be done to alleviate that problem, and in particular to put some speed into its alleviation?
