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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps her Department is taking to help improve flood resilience for agricultural land in Somerset and Gloucestershire.

This Government is investing at least £10.5 billion until 2036 to construct new and repair existing flood defences, protecting communities across England, including agricultural land. In June the Government announced £50 million to boost flood resilience in Somerset, helping them to manage the unique risks associated with the low-lying landscape.
