Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what steps they are taking to invest in flood defences.
This question was answered on 24th June 2015
Flood defences are a priority for this Government. We are spending £2.3 billion on more than 1,500 schemes to improve defences through a six-year programme of work up to 2021. This is projected to reduce overall flood risk by 5%.
