To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth on 3 November (HL2670), what arrangements are in place to monitor how the 90 per cent funding for flood relief allocated to local authorities is being spent; and what proportions have been allocated to businesses and individuals.

Local authorities report their spend on flood recovery every fortnight. At the end of October, 40 per cent of grants available under the Communities and Business Recovery Scheme had been allocated to households and communities, and 60 per cent to businesses. This excludes grants of up to £5,000 being made available to both commercial and residential properties under the Property Level Resilience Scheme.
