Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what steps he is taking to support flooded (a) businesses and (b) residential dwellings in areas that do not meet Bellwin scheme thresholds.

Further to my answer to Question UIN 9235 on 16 January 2024, The Flood Recovery Framework provides support for flooded businesses and households and operates separately from the Bellwin Scheme which, when activated, can provide support to local authorities for their eligible response costs.
