Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Anna Gelderd and Emma Hardy

Thursday 20th March 2025 Commons Chamber

We are investing £500,000 in mental health charities to support rural communities, but I completely recognise the devastation that flooding causes, and I am always happy to work with Members from across the House on how we can support people’s mental health.
