In response to today's Spending Review, Hannah Gurga, ABI Director General, said:
“Today's Spending Review reaffirms the Government's continued commitment to powering growth, and our industry remains actively engaged in helping to deliver this agenda.
“We know the devastating impact flooding has on communities across the country. The funding marked for flood defences in today's Review is a welcome step towards climate adaptation, but to build real, lasting resilience it must sit within a clear, long-term framework. We want to see this outlined in the forthcoming 10-Year Infrastructure Strategy.”
