David Rutley
The hon. Lady makes an important point. Looking at natural ways to tackle floods, such as planting trees and wood-based flood defences further upstream, is a priority. We are taking that action further forward with a fund and a plan.
Martin Vickers (Cleethorpes) (Con)
The Minister will recall that the entire Humber estuary, particularly my constituency, was badly affected by a tidal surge in December 2013. There is still concern among residents that insufficient work has been done. Will the Minister meet me and neighbouring MPs to provide an update?
David Rutley
I understand the concerns raised by my hon. Friend, and I am of course more than willing to meet him to discuss them in detail.
