	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/04/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>We have had frequent discussions with the Environment Agency over the last few years about flood risk management, including the contribution and value of dredging, in Somerset and across the country. We have also been kept up to date with Environment Agency's plans for the Somerset Levels.</p><p>The Environment Agency will continue to undertake dredging where it is shown to be a genuinely cost effective way of managing flood risk, taking account of the other options available. In some areas, dredging will be the most cost effective approach. In others, it would divert resources away from other flood risk management activities which are far more beneficial to local communities, such as maintaining pumps, sluice gates or raised embankments. The Environment Agency will therefore continue to review the case for dredging area by area, given its variable impact on reducing flood risk.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord De Mauley question first answered 08/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 2202 label Biography information for Lord De Mauley
