The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, when he plans to open the consultation on the flooding funding formula; and how long the consultation will last.

Answered by Emma Hardy

We will launch a consultation in the coming months which will include a review of the existing flood funding formula to ensure that the challenges facing businesses and rural and coastal communities are adequately taken into account when delivering flood protection. Feedback will be sought on the advantages and disadvantages of potential reforms to the flood funding formula.
