BELATED HELP FOR FLOODED AREAS WELCOME - HUHNE

3.29.33pm GMT Fri 6th Jul 2007

Commenting on Gordon Brown's announcement today that more help will be given to areas affected by recent flooding, Liberal Democrat Shadow Environment Secretary, Chris Huhne MP said:

"Gordon Brown's commitment of help for these distressed areas is a welcome, if belated, recognition of the sheer scale of the problem.

"We need a specific commitment from the Government to support capital spending when complete reconstruction is more cost-effective than patching and mending.

"Households on benefits need particular and rapid help to replace furnishings contaminated by sewage in the flood water."
