Labour (Co-op) — Manchester Central

Speaking in the House of Commons on 16 January 2025

Debate

Business of the House

Contribution

The hon. Gentleman is absolutely right. The changes in global weather as a result of climate change mean that flooding incidents are more frequent and more acute, and are often hyper-localised, rather than widespread. He makes a compelling point about the impact of localised flooding not just on homes but on local infrastructure. I will certainly ensure that that is considered by the Secretary of State.
