Flood Control: Finance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, when a second round of schemes benefitting from the Frequently Flooded Allowance will be announced.
Answered by Emma Hardy
We are investing £2.4 billion in 2024/25 and 2025/26 to improve flood resilience by maintaining, repairing and building flood defences. The list of projects to receive Government funding in 2025/26 will be consented in the usual way through Regional Flood and Coastal Committees with local representation.
Longer term funding decisions will be made at the next Spending Review.
