Flooding: Recovery Funding

Lord Taylor of Holbeach
asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the Written Statement by Baroness Andrews on 6 May (WS 16–17), what is the balance of the extra funding for flood recovery from the European Union to be allocated to the Northern Irish and Welsh devolved Administrations; and whether, if it is over £0.4 million, the sum of £30.6 million for England is all new money.[HL3822]

Lord Davies of Oldham
The net benefit to the United Kingdom from the successful application to the EU Solidarity Fund, after taking account of the abatement and EU budgetary increases, is £31 million. Of this, the Welsh Assembly Government and the Northern Ireland Executive will receive £193,026 and £180,158 respectively, based on a proportionate share of eligible public sector damage sustained.
