<p>The recent flooding in the north west of Northern Ireland has been devastating
for many people and it is important that householders, farmers and businesses are
assisted to get back on their feet as soon as possible.</p><p>Decisions surrounding
flood support and mitigation are a devolved matter for the NI Executive. The UK Government
stands ready to respond to any requests for support from The Executive Office. My
colleague Lord Bourne visited the north-west of Northern Ireland on the 18 September
to see some of the repair work being carried out and to talk to a number of those
worst affected by the flooding.</p>
