Answer
Answered by Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs
The Flood and Coastal Erosion Committee (FCEC) have established a Section 19 working group and are working with Welsh Local Government Association and Local Authority partners to consider the review findings. This includes carrying out a consultation in the Autumn to identify high level requirements to develop supporting guidance for Section 19 flood investigation reports.
NRW continue to work on delivering the outstanding actions from their internal review into the 2020 storms. They aim to complete these by the end of the year.
