Speaking in the House of Lords on 19 March 2026

Debate

Flood Detection and Prevention: Technological Assistance

Contribution

Does the Minister agree that some of the most natural, sustainable and environmentally beneficial projects are those such as Slowing the Flow at Pickering, which has prevented Pickering flooding in recent years? Will he use his good offices to ensure that farmers will be reimbursed through environmental land management schemes, and that upland farmers in particular will benefit from flood prevention money as a public good to the community, especially common land graziers and others who farm on common land?
