answer text <p>This reply relates to England only.</p><p> </p><p>The Environment Agency’s long term flood risk assessment for England allows people to look up their postcode to understand the likelihood that their home or property might flood, the possible causes of flooding, and where to find advice on managing flood risk. This is available at the Flood Warning Information Service page of Gov.uk, <a href="https://flood-warning-information.service.gov.uk/long-term-flood-risk" target="_blank">https://flood-warning-information.service.gov.uk/long-term-flood-risk</a>.</p><p> </p><p>To help people take action and to prepare for the risk of flooding the Environment Agency provides free flood warnings across England for flooding from rivers, the sea and groundwater. Over 1.4 million people are registered to this service which sends a message directly by voice message, text, or email when a flood warning is issued. Anyone can sign up by visiting the Environment Agency’s website, or by calling Floodline on 0345 988 1188. There is also a three-point flood plan which advises people on what to do when they receive a flood warning at <a href="https://flood-warning-information.service.gov.uk/what-to-do-in-a-flood" target="_blank">https://flood-warning-information.service.gov.uk/what-to-do-in-a-flood</a>.</p><p> </p><p>Further information on flood risk, current flood warnings, and river and sea levels can be found on the Environment Agency’s website.</p>

answer text <p>As highlighted in my response to PQ 194079, the Government will take into account all factors that need to be considered in regulating the sale of the most polluting fuels. This includes the energy content of the fuels, the air quality benefits, and the impacts on business and households of switching to cleaner fuels.</p><p>PM<sub>2.5 </sub>emissions generated per kwh will depend on the fuel, the appliance, how it is used and how it is installed. The range of stoves available on the market is so diverse and how they are installed and operated so varied, it is not feasible to undertake inferential analysis of the PM<sub>2.5</sub> emissions generated per kwh for each fuel type burned on open fires and non-Defra-exempt stoves.</p> more like this

answer text <p>To provide continuity for businesses in a no deal scenario, the EU Withdrawal Act copies EU legislation into UK law, including REACH, as far as possible. This means that the requirements established through these regulations will continue to apply in the UK. This includes retaining all exemptions that remain applicable, including chemicals used in medical products or equipment. By doing this we would minimise disruption to the supply in chemicals.</p><p> </p><p>While it would not be appropriate to pre-judge the outcome of negotiations regarding the Future Economic Partnership, we will discuss with the EU and Member States how best to continue cooperation in chemicals regulation in the best interests of both the UK and the EU.</p> more like this
