answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/01/2017 answer text <p>In the days that followed the flooding in December 2015 and early January 2016, the Government very quickly identified that the immediate priority was to respond to the urgent needs of those affected and we have paid out almost £300 million.</p><p>The Commission has now completed its assessment of the UK Government’s European Union Solidarity Fund application and has proposed to the European Parliament and Council that the UK receives a notional €60 million (circa £51.6 million) in assistance (subject to approval by the two bodies). However, owing to the costs involved in making an application and the effect of clawback through the UK rebate, the overall net benefit to the UK is only estimated to be €17 million (circa £15 million).</p><p>This will be further offset by a payment of £14.5 million that the UK is legally obliged to make to the EU in respect of the UK’s 2007 application (by the then Labour Government) for Solidarity Fund assistance following the serious floods that year. The UK Government is obliged to repay funding where there was ineligible spending under the Labour administration. Consequently, this funding does not offer additional support.</p><p>This funding can only be used to reimburse public sector costs so cannot be paid directly to individual householders and businesses.</p> answering member constituency Brigg and Goole answering member printed Andrew Percy question first answered 31/01/2017 17:54:35 answering member 3939 label Biography information for Andrew Percy
