Lord de Mauley: ...the Waste Framework Directive do not limit the scope of dredging operations in areas affected by recent flooding.

Written Answers — House of Lords: Flooding (11 Feb 2014)

Thames Tideway Tunnel — Question (24 Jul 2013)

Lord de Mauley: My Lords, we are faced with the problem of London’s sewers being at or close to capacity and millions of tonnes of sewage overflowing each year.

Thames Tideway Tunnel — Question (24 Jul 2013)
