Debate

Flood Detection and Prevention: Technological Assistance

Contribution

My Lords, the United Kingdom has developed some excellent technological flood detection and prevention solutions, including FloodAdapt, Nautilus barriers, Floodstop, flood defence and others. The UK Government’s funding strategy of November 2025 promised to use public money to unlock additional contributions from public, private and charitable sources and to encourage joint working. Can the Minister tell us what progress has been made in bringing on board private finance to utilise some of our technological solutions?
