My hon. Friend praises the SUDS system, but will she take into account, and ask our hon. Friends on the front bench to take into account, the fact that we may be building up considerable liabilities for ourselves in future if SUDS systems are inadequately designed by developers who have clever consultants and local authorities do not have the expertise to vet whether those systems are adequate in the type of floods that we are seeing at the moment?
The first bench on either side of the House of Commons, reserved for ministers and leaders of the principal political parties.
