Asked by: Duncan Baker (Conservative - North Norfolk)
Question to the Scotland Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of support provided by the Government to people in Scotland affected by Storm Arwen.
Answered by Alister Jack - Secretary of State for Scotland
One of the main impacts of both Storm Arwen and Storm Barra was disruption to electricity networks.
The UK Government worked closely with local network operators to provide support, particularly to the most vulnerable.
Our fantastic British armed forces responded rapidly to a request from Aberdeenshire Council, and service personnel were deployed door-to-door, providing a lifeline to many.
