Written Question
Flood Control: South East
Thursday 13th October 2016

Asked by: Jonathan Lord (Conservative - Woking)

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps she has taken to improve flood defences in (a) Woking constituency, (b) Surrey and (c) the South East since 2010.

Answered by Baroness Coffey

In the Woking constituency, the Hoe Valley Flood Alleviation Scheme opened in spring 2012 resulting in better protection to almost 200 properties.

In Surrey, the Environment Agency together with the Lead Local Flood Authorities, are developing a range of flood schemes under the Government’s 6 Year Investment Programme.

The River Thames Scheme for example, will seek to reduce the risk of flooding to 15,000 properties in Surrey and Berkshire. Schemes are also being developed in Guildford, Godalming, Leatherhead and Byfleet.

In the South East the Environment Agency has better protected 42,000 homes between 2010 - 2015 and forecast to better protect nearly 80,000 more homes by 2021.

2014 data are subject to amendments

EU data based on EU 28

Please note these figures are obtained using VAT records and will exclude some EU trade

for businesses which are below the VAT threshold. As a result, actual trade levels

may be higher than those given.

The data are subject to a degree of statistical error. The overall level of

errors is low, but these errors have a much greater proportional effect on

countries with small values or volumes of trade. Therefore, care is

needed when interpreting the data.

Notation:

0 = quantity less than half the unit shown

Empty cells are nil values

Exports from Northern Ireland to the Republic of Ireland make up a significant proportion of the live

exports to the EU, accounting for around 90% of live UK sheep exports to the EU and 40% of live UK poultry exports to the EU.
