answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/01/2018 answer text <p>A large proportion of funding from the NPIF – established at Autumn Statement 2016 and expanded to £31bn at Autumn Budget 2017 – has already been allocated to its four target sectors: transport, housing, digital communications and R&amp;D. Breakdowns within these sectors can be found on page 44 of the 2017 Autumn Budget document. Specific projects are selected through a variety of mechanisms that are tailored to achieve programme goals and ensure high value for money.</p><p> </p><p>Funding allocations from the NPIF are not specifically made by region. However the NPIF is intended to fund projects that help to boost productivity and prosperity throughout the UK and across regions. For example, at the Autumn Budget 2017, the government made an allocation specifically benefitting the North East, announcing £337m of new funding from the NPIF to replace rolling stock on the Tyne &amp; Wear Metro. It also established a new £1.7bn Transforming Cities Fund. This funding will be widely distributed, with £840m of per capita funding to be transferred to the six Mayoral Combined Authorities with directly elected mayors, and £840m open for competition for transport projects in cities. These announcements and others demonstrate a commitment to invest to improve productivity in all UK regions.</p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 11/01/2018 14:16:03 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/02/2017 answer text <p>The Department does not hold comprehensive figures for the number of homes built in high flood-risk areas but published statistics on the proportion of new residential addresses created in flood zone 3 areas are available from:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/573278/1516_Land_Use_Change_Statistics_Live_Tables.xlsx" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/573278/1516_Land_Use_Change_Statistics_Live_Tables.xlsx</a> (Table p320).</p><p>National planning policy is clear that inappropriate development in areas at risk of flooding should be avoided by directing development away from areas at highest risk. Where development is necessary in a flood risk area and there are no suitable sites available in areas with a lower probability of flooding, it should be safe, flood resilient and not increase flood risk elsewhere. Otherwise, it should not be permitted. The Department’s statistics report only the proportion of new residential addresses created in flood zone 3 areas; they do not reflect the safety measures incorporated. For example they do not take account of the presence of flood defences.</p> answering member constituency Croydon Central answering member printed Gavin Barwell question first answered 02/02/2017 13:50:27 answering member 3955 label Biography information for Lord Barwell
