MP raises plight of those hit by tidal surge

Hull North MP Diana Johnson pressed Ministers on flood assistance to Hull homes and businesses affected by the December 2013 East Coast tidal surge.


Speaking in DEFRA Questions in the House of Commons, Diana Johnson MP said: "After Eton flooded in February, the Prime Minister promised that money would be no object. However, for many Hull homes and businesses hit by the December tidal surge, that soon changed to "Out of sight, out of mind," and they are still awaiting help.


"Can the Minister tell me what percentage of the promised assistance to flood-hit communities has actually gone to those affected?"
