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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what recent assessment she has made of the (a) availability and (b) affordability of contents insurance for renters in at-risk flood areas.

Content insurance is widely available to tenants in high flood risk areas, with the Flood Re scheme helping this to be affordable. The Scheme has provided backing to 53,000 policies since its launch in April 2016.
