Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask His Majesty's Government what financial assistance they plan to provide to the devolved nations as a result of the damage created by Storm Éowyn.

The UK Government recognises the significant impact that severe weather events can have on communities across the country and pays tribute to the incredible efforts of all those involved in the response to Storm Éowyn.

Responding to weather events in their respective nations is one of the responsibilities of the devolved governments but the UK Government has provided operational support to the Northern Ireland Executive following the damage caused by Storm Éowyn. Officials from across the UK Government have been working hard, including with industry partners, to provide the practical support needed to speed up the recovery effort in Northern Ireland. Additional staff have been redeployed to Northern Ireland, alongside helicopters, drones, generators, and replacement parts from stockpiles in other parts of the UK. The UK Government is continuing to work closely with the Executive to understand the scale of the damage and support the recovery efforts in Northern Ireland.
