HC Deb 06 July 1992 vol 211 cc59-60W
Mr. Simon Hughes

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what information his Department holds on coastal areas considered to be at risk of flooding; how often this information is updated; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Curry

As part of its investigations into the likely effects of sea level rise, the Department has produced maps showing areas in England and Wales below the 5 and 10 m contour, the areas most at risk from flooding. This information will be kept up to date as required. In addition, regional offices of the National Rivers Authority hold more detailed information relating to their areas.
