To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps he has taken to help protect communities vulnerable to flooding.
Emma Hardy
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
This Government knows and understands how devastating the impact of flooding is to communities and so we are committed to protecting homes and businesses around the country.
Just this week, we announced the largest flooding programme in history. As part of our landmark Infrastructure Strategy, we have committed a record £7.9 billion over ten years to protect hundreds of thousands of homes, small businesses, and vital infrastructure from the growing threat of flooding.
