Cash "drop" angers Euro-MP
9:53am Monday 12th May 2008
THE county's Euro MP has reacted with anger to the news that the EU contribution to last year's flood recovery will be less than previously thought.
Liberal Democrat Liz Lynne spoke out after the news that the support for last year's flood recovery would be £31m and not the £110m as announced previously by the government.
She said: "This news is outrageous and undermines the hard work many of us did to ensure the application received a quick and favourable response from the European Commission.
"Anyone seeking to blame the EU for this should be in no doubt, it is UK government policy that has directly led to local authorities and government agencies missing out on this funding and these bodies would be right to feel angered by this news."
