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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how much of his Department's planned £2.5 billion investment in flood investments will be allocated to Leeds; and what the timetable is for completion of those schemes.

Between April 2015 and March 2021, the Government plans to invest £54.5 million within the Leeds City Council boundary. This will deliver more than 15 individual schemes and projects to reduce flood risk to communities and safeguard the economy. The majority of these will be completed by March 2021.
