And the man at the forefront of the West Country badger culls,

:00:32.:00:37.

who also received criticism during the winter flooding

:00:38.:00:38.

Clinton Rogers has been gauging reaction to Owen Paterson's

:00:39.:00:43.

There couldn't have been a lore unwelcome visitor at the st`rt

:00:44.:00:58.

What is the environment Minhster doing? He is inept.

:00:59.:01:05.

Yet, over time, as flood relief work began, as

:01:06.:01:07.

Government money was pledged, as Mr Paterson became a regular vhsitor,

:01:08.:01:09.

There is a story that when Owen Paterson told the Environment Agency

:01:10.:01:23.

something that landowners h`d been something that landowners h`d been

:01:24.:01:27.

crying out for four years, they told him that it would take six lonths to

:01:28.:01:33.

clear the red tape. He told them to make it happen in six weeks, and

they did. Farmer James Winslade,

and the fear now is that flood relief work here may stall with

a new minister at the helm. I hope that will not happen. That is

:01:45.:01:59.

a fear that we have. Everybody has got a heightened sense that we have

:02:00.:02:04.

to get it done before the whnter. We don't want any more delays.

:02:05.:02:06.

And that's a worry shared by a Somerset MP who once sdrved

:02:07.:02:08.

under Owen Paterson in the Environment Department.
