Question
Further to WQ87045, will the Minister explain what steps she will take to work out how many historic buildings in Wales are under threat by flooding?
Answer
Answered by Deputy Minister for Arts and Sport, and Chief Whip
Data already available to us shows that 3,655 listed buildings are located in Flood Zone 3. Around 1,000 of these are bridges. All buildings in this zone are at some risk of flooding, but individual flood risk assessments would be needed to establish the level of risk in particular cases.
