HC Deb 08 March 2002 vol 381 c642W
Mrs. Lait

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs if the issue of responsibility for ground water flooding where there is no owner or recent records of a water source will be included in the review of flooding. [40343]

Mr. Morley

The Steering Group Report and associated consultation document recently issued by this Department relate specifically to a review of the future arrangements for funding flood and coastal defence work and related institutional and administrative arrangements. The review did not cover ground water flooding matters.
