	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/11/2022 answer text <p>The UK does not have a power to proscribe a country as a &quot;State Sponsor&quot; of Terrorism. The UK and our allies condemn the Russian government's unprovoked and premeditated invasion of Ukraine. We have considerable powers to sanction the Russian Government, which we have used with our allies for significant effect. We have implemented the strongest set of economic sanctions ever to debilitate Russia's economy and degrade funding for Putin's war.</p> answering member constituency Aldershot answering member printed Leo Docherty question first answered 23/11/2022 17:39:45 answering member 4600 label Biography information for Leo Docherty

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/11/2022 answer text <p>Government is investing £5.2 billion between 2021 and 2027, providing around 2,000 flood defences to better protect communities and properties across England, including those in rural areas, from flooding and coastal erosion.</p><p> </p><p>This is invested where flood risk and the benefits of action are greatest, and this assessment includes economic impacts on agriculture. As a result, at the end of 2021/22 the Environment Agency reported that 28,093 hectares of agricultural land had been better protected.</p><p> </p><p>On 26 July 2022, government announced the creation of a new £100m Frequently Flooded Allowance (FFA) to support communities that have experienced repeated flooding. This seeks to address some of the specific challenges faced by frequently flooded communities, particularly those that are smaller and more isolated or rural and therefore struggle to secure the funding they need to improve their resilience to flooding. We expect to publish more information later this year on the first projects to benefit.</p><p> </p><p>We are also investing £200m for the Flood and Coastal Innovation programme to support local places including coastal and rural communities. This meets key government commitments to develop and test new approaches to tackle the threat of flooding and coastal change.</p><p> </p><p>Farmers and land managers also have an important role to play in reducing the risk of flooding and coastal erosion to both rural and urban areas. Through the new Environmental Land Management schemes, farmers and other land managers will be supported to improve the environment and help manage environmental hazards, such as flood risk.</p> answering member constituency Taunton Deane answering member printed Rebecca Pow question first answered 23/11/2022 16:27:17 answering member 4522 label Biography information for Rebecca Pow
