Worried homeowners left dangling

Flood protection Yorkshire

The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has denied losing 300 letters from homeowners worried about the future of flood insurance.

Hull North MP Diana Johnson gathered the letters from her constitutents and personally delivered them to Defra in late October, according to the BBC.

But this week Defra told Johnson that the letters had been lost, only for the department to do a u-turn and claim to have found them again.

More than 10,000 Hull homes were flooded in 2007 when heavy rain overpowered the city’s drains.
