HC Deb 10 May 2004 vol 421 cc97-8W
Mr. Wiggin

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what discussions he has had with the National Assembly for Wales Government about providing exceptional costs to implement the Mold Flood Allevation Scheme; and if he will make a statement. [169774]

Mr. Touhig

I understand that the National Assembly has made £3.713 million available to the Environment Agency, this financial year, to support flood defence works within its approved programme. It is up to the Agency to determine priorities within its budget. The Agency is currently reviewing its capital programme, to see how it can maximise the funding available for the Mold scheme.
