Written question asked by Blake Stephenson (Conservative) on Friday, 30 May 2025, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Tuesday, 3 June 2025. It was answered by Emma Hardy (Labour) on Monday, 9 June 2025 on behalf of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.


Floods: Bedfordshire

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how many 1 in 100 year flooding events have occurred in Bedfordshire since 2010.

Answer

Data on the return period (such as “1 in 100 years”) of recent events is not available as flooding is never consistent and affects communities differently each time. Environment Agency (EA) records show that since 2010, there have been around 10 notable flood events where property flooding occurred, these covered at least 22 communities in Bedfordshire.
