Toby Perkins MP: Can I thank my Hon. Friend from Hull West for coming back to me with regard to the River Hipper scheme in my constituency, which is of huge importance. Can I invite her to come to Chesterfield to meet people affected by the floods and see the Holymoorside scheme that could make a real difference.
Minister: Thank you, Mr Speaker. It’s always a pleasure to work with my Hon. Friend and I know how passionately and well he campaigned for his community during the floods last time and how deeply it moved him. So, of course I would be more than happy to continue to work with him.
