Floods: Rural Areas
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of the formula used to allocate flood funding to rural areas.
Answered by Emma Hardy
Defra will consult in the new year on a new simpler and more flexible approach to floods investment that maximises value for the taxpayer and supports nature-based solutions. This will include a review of the floods funding formula.
