Home plans 'ignore lack of water'

The BBC Online gives us another example of John Prescott's "competance" in Home plans 'ignore lack of water'. It appears that:

A Lords committee said the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister was among ministries which failed to consider water management early enough.

And

Lord Selborne added that his committee was given incorrect information by the government about what the increased water demand might be in areas of housing development such as the Thames Gateway.

then the sting:

Liberal Democrat Baroness Sharp said the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM) had "driven" the sustainable communities programme and the criticism was one of "inadequate consultation between departments over their plans".

Oh well... another triumph for the one of his policies.
