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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how many properties and businesses have been flooded in Norwich in each year since 1997.

The government does not hold the data requested for all sources of flooding.

The Environment Agency is responsible for managing the risk of flooding from main rivers, reservoirs, estuaries and the sea. There are no recorded incidents of properties or businesses being flooded in Norwich from these sources of flooding since 1997.

Norfolk County Council is the lead local flood authority for Norwich and is responsible for managing the risk of flooding from surface water, groundwater and ordinary watercourses.
