Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Liz Twist and Rebecca Pow

Thursday 31st October 2019 Commons Chamber

[Rebecca Pow]

There is going to be a section in the Environment Bill on abstraction licences. I hope that when that gets going and we have proper discussions about that Bill, it will include some ameliorations for chalk streams.
