Clause 1 - Duty to conserve water resources
Water Bill [Lords]
9:15 am
Mr Ian Liddell-Grainger (Bridgwater, Conservative)
For clarification, in areas that have the potential of flooding and where there is long-term standing water, would the Minister envisage the possibility of water holding tanks for the renewal of reservoirs? There is also a proposal for him, when he is wearing another administrative hat, to consider inland holding tanks for flood water. Would he see those ideas as part of what he is trying to do with regard to clean water?
