Written Answers. - Coastal Erosion Strategy.
Coastal protection requirements, including the need for remedial works, are addressed on an ongoing basis through my Department's coastal protection programmes. The national development plan provides funding of £35 million for protection works and related research in the period 2000-06.
The coastal protection programme for 2001 will be announced early next year.
