HC Deb 22 January 2003 vol 398 cc400-5W
Mr. Lidington

To ask the Deputy Prime Minister how much was paid in grant to each local authority in respect of(a) coastal defence and (b) flood protection in each of the last five years; and how much will be paid to each local authority for 2003–04. [89643]

Margaret Beckett

I have been asked to reply.

Defra provides grant to local authorities for flood defence and coast protection capital works which satisfy essential criteria. Authorities may claim grant on eligible expenditure during the construction of works. Details are provided in the table for the grant paid to each authority for each of the last five years. For 2002–03 the amount shown is that paid to date. Allocations to all operating authorities for 2003–04 are still being considered.
