To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs how much her Department spent of flood protection measures in (a) England, (b) Yorkshire and the Humber and (c) the City of York Council area in each year since 2000-01.
The following table shows spend on flood and coastal erosion risk management between 2000-01 and 2010-11.
The table excludes spending by local authorities except prior to 2004-05 where flood risk management was primarily funded through local authority grants with DEFRA part-funding only capital improvement projects and some national initiatives. After 2003-04 this form of funding was largely replaced by direct funding from DEFRA through grant in aid.
