Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how much additional Government funding has been allocated to local authorities to manage the effects of flooding since November 2019.

Following the activation of the Flood Recovery Framework in November 2019 and February 2020, MHCLG has provided additional financial support to a number of local authorities under the Community Recovery Grant to assist those communities impacted to recover. Further support will be paid out via council tax discounts and business rates relief.
