Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether she plans to provide further funding to local communities under the Frequently Flooded Allowance.

On 5 April 2023, the government announced the first communities to benefit from the £100 million Frequently Flooded Allowance (FFA), with over £26 million allocated to 53 projects. Further FFA projects will be selected as part of the Environment Agency’s annual refresh of the £5.2 billion floods capital programme, which sets out the latest information on projects in the programme. All Risk Management Authorities can consider and put forward eligible projects as part of this process.
