Environmental Audit Committee – EAC: Following another winter of severe UK floods, EAC is launching an inquiry into Government policy and action on flooding. It will be focusing on whether the Government’s approach is ‘joined-up’, and the extent to which cooperation across Government on this matter is successful. As part of the inquiry they will be using the resilience of UK infrastructure as a case study. They will use this to investigate issues such as: how Government departments and public bodies can better cooperate to offer coherent policy and action on flooding; what the strengths and weaknesses of the Government’s current approach are; and what is required from Government to ensure that the UK’s development is sustainable and best-placed to face future floods.
