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 place in the Library a copy of applications made for funding of flood defences in the Lancaster City district area made by Lancashire County Council between April and July 2016.

Between April and July 2016, Lancashire County Council has been successful in securing government Flood Defence Grant-in-Aid for the ‘Lancaster Phase 4 – Mill Race Surface Water Study’. This study will enable Lancashire County Council to identify the most appropriate and feasible options to address surface water flooding within Lancaster City Centre.

A copy of the initial application will be placed in the Library in due course.
