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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if she will detail the funding for flood defences set out in the National Infrastructure Delivery Plan by NUTS 1 region.

The Government are investing £2.5 billion between 2015 and 2021, delivering at least 1,500 new flood defence schemes and better protecting 300,000 homes.

The six year Capital Investment Programme will provide Flood Defence Grant-in-Aid as shown below for flood defence schemes by NUTS 1 regions. The nationally coordinated project investment includes capital expenditure on flood defences which are located in more than one NUTS 1 region and capitalised costs which support the development of these physical and natural defences.

Note: The NUTS 1 statistical regions correspond with the regions of England as used by the UK's Office for National Statistics
