To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, pursuant to his Answer of 13 November 2023 to Question 410 on Flood Control: Finance, how much of the £800 million projected investment for the financial year to March 2024 has been spent.
Robbie Moore
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
Indications are that all of the £800 million has been spent in 2023/24. The final accounts are subject to audit, and we will be able to confirm actual spend once the audited accounts have been laid before Parliament. The current timeline is early October, but this is subject to change, depending on recess and party conference dates.
