Answer from Hansard
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Emma Hardy)
As I may have already mentioned, we are putting in a record £2.65 billion investment to build, maintain and improve flood defences up and down the country, which shows this Government’s commitment to making sure that our communities and our farmland are protected from flooding.
