| 16 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 831) “Is that framework robust enough that if, say, five applications came at once, they would all be considered in the round, or would that mean that the full picture would not be there?” | 33 |
| 9 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 550) “I am glad to hear that you are feeding into that work and that it is across government. Moving on to the support for local capacity, I know that flood wardens play a huge role and there are lots of voluntary groups. Small businesses can play a role but are usually quite hard-hit when flooding occurs. Is there more that…” | 68 |
| 9 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 550) “I want to ask a bit more about the conversation that we had in the previous session about having a single national flood reporting system and whether you think that that would be beneficial.

| 9 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 550) “Is the Department getting a cumulative cost of what is being spent on Build Back Better by the insurers?

| 9 Jul 2025 | Environmental Audit Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 550) “We have heard serious doubts that the insurance market will be ready to return to fully risk-based pricing when Flood Re ends in 2039.
