| 11 Jun 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 550) “I have a final question for Mr Shepherd.

| 11 Jun 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 550) “On that issue of flood performance certificates, I am going to turn to you, Mr Lennon.

| 11 Jun 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 550) “Thinking about how the industry is adapting to its models, pricing and long-term strategies—the growing impacts of climate change on flood risk, but also more generally—how is the industry adapting how it works around prices and modelling on flood, as one aspect of more general climate change?” | 47 |
| 11 Jun 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 550) “In the situation that you are putting out there, lenders could previously look at it and say, “If that is the risk for 12 months, then that is likely the risk it is going to be for the 30‑year period”.
