The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment she has made of the adequacy of flood recovery funding over the last 12 months.

Answered by Alex Norris

Flood recovery is a devolved responsibility. The Flood Recovery Framework provides swift, responsive financial support packages to communities, households and businesses suffering the impacts of severe flooding with schemes from MHCLG, DBT and Defra in England. A post activation review of the flood recovery framework following storm Babet Oct 2023 and Storm Henk January 2024 has taken place and is accessible here: Written statements - Written questions, answers and statements - UK Parliament.
