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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment her Department has made of the adequacy of flood defence funding and infrastructure.

This Government has committed at least £10.5 billion between 2024 and 2036, a record investment which will benefit nearly 900,000 properties.

In our first two years we stabilised the condition of our existing flood defences following years of decline and better protected nearly 62,000 properties.
