Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what the estimated cost is of proposed refurbishment or improvement works at Felpham Pumping Station; how much funding has been secured; and what additional funding is required.
Answer
An accurate estimate of costs will be determined as the project progresses through development and option appraisal.
Verdict: RED (7/100) DEFERRED
The reply does not give a cost figure for the Felpham Pumping Station works. It says an accurate estimate will be determined later, as the project moves through development and option appraisal, and gives no date. It does not say how much funding has been secured or what additional funding is needed, so the questioner would most likely need to ask again for specifics.
