Motion text

That this House recognises the damage that recent flooding has done to communities, homes and people’s lives; acknowledges the need for Her Majesty's Government to fund more flood defences and flood prevention in areas affected; worries about the further impacts the climate crisis and future extreme weather events will have on people’s lives in the future; urges Her Majesty's Government to offer homeowners the resources to protect their own homes from flooding damage; calls on Her Majesty's Government to extend the Green Homes Grant to include funds for homeowners to make their homes more flood resilient; requests that Her Majesty’s Government extends the Green Homes Grant for longer than the current year it is available so everyone who would want to use it for flood defences is able to; and believes these two extensions to the scheme would be a resourceful way to combat the impact of flooding.
