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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, pursuant to the Answer of 26 January 2023 to Question 127717 on Flood Control: Shrewsbury, how much of the Government's £5.2 billion investment has been received by Shrewsbury and Atcham constituency.

The Environment Agency’s 2021-27 Flood and Coastal Risk Management Programme is investing in the region of £43 million in the county of Shropshire. Of that figure, £20 million is being directly invested in both the Shrewsbury and Atcham constituency and the wider surrounding areas, which will provide not only flood risk benefits for those communities, but also other environmental benefits such as carbon capturing and biodiversity net gain.
