Eric Pickles: 'We should have dredged'
Communities Secretary Eric Pickles says the government "made a mistake" and should have dredged the flood-hit Somerset Levels.
Speaking on the Andrew Marr Show, he apologised "unreservedly" to those affected by the flooding.
But he refused to "nudge" Lord Smith of Finsbury out of his position as head of the Environment Agency.
