Floods: Somerset
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many households that had to evacuate their homes on the Somerset levels because of flooding in the winter of 2013–14 have not been able to return.
- Answer
-
My Department does not collect data on evacuation numbers.
However, I would point my noble Friend to the flood recovery progress report placed in the Library further to my Written Ministerial Statement of 27 November 2014, Official Report, Column WS51. It explains the broader challenges faced by a small number of properties with repairing major structural damage, asbestos and sewage contamination, over and above flooding.
