Wales Office: Emergencies

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, how many meetings her Department has held with the Welsh Government in the last 12 months on coordinating resilience planning for risks that span reserved and devolved responsibilities.

Answer

Resilience is a shared responsibility between individuals, communities, businesses and all levels of government across the UK to ensure we can effectively respond to risks wherever they occur.

Regular meetings take place between the four governments to discuss various strategies and frameworks aimed at strengthening resilience and identifying opportunities for greater collaboration. This complements the everyday collaboration between the UK and Devolved Governments on risk and resilience.
