Degraded Chalk Stream Environments

Debate between Matt Western and Cheryl Gillan

Monday 22nd July 2019 Commons Chamber

[Dame Cheryl Gillan]

The point is well and emphatically made: that is absolutely right.

[Matt Western]

The right hon. Lady is being very generous in giving way yet again. I would just add that so much of our culture has been steeped in this green and pleasant land, as it is oft described, but it is becoming increasingly parched. There is one point I want to raise with her. Does she share with me a slight concern that, with HS2, there will be some sort of disruption to the watersheds in her constituency and potentially to those in my own in Warwickshire?
