Rejected petition The UK government to access the EU Solidarity Fund to aid in the recent floods.

The UK has a right to access the EU Solidarity fund for support in times of disaster. We have done previously but the current government seems very reluctant to do so regardless of the fact we contribute year on year to this fund. This could be a large sum to help flood victims in this time of need.
