Environment Agency Boss Resigns After Floods

Environment Agency chairman Sir Philip Dilley, who was criticised for not returning from a family holiday during the floods, has resigned. Sir Philip came under fire for remaining in Barbados as parts of the North and Scotland were deluged by record rainfall over the festive period. The EA had said he was at home - but when it later emerged he was in Barbados, it was claimed his wife was from the island.
