Floods: Expenditure

Volume 463: debated on Tuesday 24 July 2007

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what the cost was of the clear up operation to each affected local authority following recent flooding. (151454)

It is too early to say what the cost will be to each affected local authority of the clear up operation following recent flooding. Local authorities are continuing to make their own assessments of the impact of the floods and of the work that will be needed for the recovery process and information improves by the day. We remain in close contact with the affected local authorities and continue to monitor the situation carefully as more information becomes available.
