The below Parliamentary question was asked by Alex Cunningham on 2016-03-15.

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, on what date an application was submitted for assistance from the EU Solidarity Fund to help communities affected by recent floods.

James Wharton

The Government submitted an initial UK application to the EU Solidarity Fund on Friday 26 February. The application included an estimate of eligible costs from Scotland, Wales, Cumbria, Lancashire, Greater Manchester, North Yorkshire and the City of York, West Yorkshire, and Northumberland.

Having made this initial application, we are in the process of refining our cost estimations and figures, and will work with the Commission to finalise details.
