As the Chancellor announced in the House on 9 December, the government is creating a new Community Recovery Scheme to support households and businesses affected by the floods in Cumbria and Lancashire.

The Barnett Formula has been applied to this funding in the normal way, and the Northern Ireland Executive will receive £1.322 million in additional funding.
