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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what is the planned timescale for the delivery of the River Thames Scheme and the key milestones for each remaining phase of the project.

The River Thames Scheme is currently undertaking a reset to ensure it remains affordable, deliverable and provides value for money.

I refer the hon. Member to the answer given to him on 18 June to PQ UIN 9730 for details on the benefits.
