Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment he has made of the level of flood protection in the Thames Gateway.
This question was answered on 26th June 2014
The Environment Agency's Thames Estuary 2100 Plan, which covers the area known as the “Thames Gateway”, sets out the current levels of risk to the area and the plans to protect areas at risk from tidal flooding until the end of the century.
Following the winter storms, the Environment Agency reassessed the condition of all flood defences on the Thames and the level of flood protection they offer.
