Speaking in the House of Lords on 30 October 2024

Debate

Water (Special Measures) Bill [HL]

Contribution

We all want to see better management of water, whether through direct investment in our sewerage infrastructure, improved treatment of wastewater or management of run-off before it reaches our sewerage system. The benefits of natural flood prevention solutions are not limited to water management. Changing the landscape of catchment areas to limit the risk of flooding can also be a fantastic way to create new habitat, or restore habitat, for species as we work towards our biodiversity goals. Working with nature to resolve the damage caused by sewage overflows is surely something noble Lords around the House can support.
