Letter of correction from Mr Richard Benyon:
An error has been identified in the written answer given to the hon. Member for Sevenoaks (Michael Fallon) on 4 May 2011.
The full answer given was as follows:
Richard Benyon
Total flood defence grant in aid for sea defences in Kent in 2011-12 is £15,019.40. This includes both capital and revenue funding.
Finance for schemes beyond 2011-12 will be determined by the reforms which will be announced in due course following our recent consultation on future funding of flood and coastal erosion risk management in England.
The correct answer should have been:
Richard Benyon
Total flood defence grant in aid for sea defences in Kent in 2011-12 is £15,019,400. This includes both capital and revenue funding.
Finance for schemes beyond 2011-12 will be determined by the reforms which will be announced in due course following our recent consultation on future funding of flood and coastal erosion risk management in England.
