Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. I will be speaking today about surface water flooding and why, in short, we need more gardens and fewer patios. I look forward to hearing from my colleague for Swansea East, Mike Hedges, and from the Cabinet Secretary for Environment and Rural Affairs. It was one of the Cabinet Secretary’s predecessors, Jane Davidson, when she was the Minister for Environment, Sustainability and Housing, that I first lobbied on this particular topic, and it was in the wake of the devastating floods of 2007 and the Pitt review that followed.
