Answered by Baroness Hayman of Ullock - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)

Nationally, we are conducting a pilot of the Adaptation Reporting Power with a number of local authority partners across the country to explore the value of extending adaptation reporting and planning to the local authority sector and the learning from this pilot will inform our approach to the next ARP strategy.
