Clause 12 - Orders under section 33 of the WRA, etc
Water Bill [Lords]
5:00 pm
Mr Bill Wiggin (Leominster, Conservative)
It is nearly time.
The amendment deals with the first part of cross-border problems. This is an English and Welsh Bill, yet obviously we must recognise that droughts do not respect boundaries in the way that we might like. The important point relates to water that runs across the border, or to issues between the Scottish Parliament and the northern part of England. This useful amendment will certainly tease out from the Government how they are going to deal with the problem.
