<p>The Office of the Secretary of State for Wales and others are determined to ensure
that all of those affected by flooding are supported in the best way possible. Flood
response in Wales is a devolved matter. It was announced in March Budget that the
UK Government will fund assistance for flood relief. For 2020-21, the Welsh Government
will receive an additional £17m in Barnett consequentials from additional spending
on flood prevention in England. If the Welsh Government matches our spending per head
on flood prevention then this would see over £300m spent in Wales by 2026-27.</p>
