answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/02/2016 answer text <p>The Government has not ruled out applying to the EU Solidarity Fund. We are assessing the case for an application and will make a decision by the end of February. The European Union Solidarity Fund does not provide additional funding to local areas, but simply reimburses emergency costs that the Government would have incurred anyway. For this reason, the Government's immediate priority remains dealing with the urgent needs of those affected, which is why we have provided over £200 million to help those affected by the floods to support recovery and repair.</p> answering member constituency Stockton South answering member printed James Wharton question first answered 09/02/2016 16:18:20 answering member 4123 label Biography information for Lord Wharton of Yarm
