[edit] MP who didn't vote against

Does anybody know who the traitor MP was? --JamieBattenbo 00:26, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

I forget his name but he abstained rather than voting for the reservoir. --Stlemur 16:08, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Abstained or wasn't present? (There's no mechanism to cast an abstention at Westminster.) And when were the second and third reading votes? Timrollpickering 17:52, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Number of People Affected

Does anyone have any information on the number of people who were displaced from their homes due to the flooding. I think this would be useful information. 212.140.167.99 20:24, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Various websites refer to "about 70 people being displaced." A further quote from http://www.ilisu.org.uk/news12.html states -

Bessie Braddock MP (Liverpool, Exchange) said "Some disturbance of the inhabitants is, of course, inevitable. Everyone deplores the factthat in the interests of progess some people must suffer, but that is progress." Sir Victor Raikes (Liverpool, Garston), said "I agree that whether the number is 70 or whether it be 700 the principle is the same. I do not disagree on that, but what I do say, and I say it with all the emphasis at my command, is that if it is decided that in the interests of a large number of people the rights of a very small number of people are affected, then, subject to proper safeguards for the minority, the right of the majority must prevail."
