Had a new flush valve fitted this year, the plumber replaced the previous elbow pipe with the flexible pipe pictured.

The solid pipe isn't as secure as it once was, it has a bit of give if the tap is turned on/off. Perhaps I'm being a bit over cautious, but I'd rather secure it. Could one or two pipe clamps be the solution?

Oh dear, sorry but he's not a proper plumber IMO. Any self respecting, trained plumber that had access like that and a stop tap at the bottom, if it works properly, could have easily fitted a nice shiny piece of copper, bent properly to the wall if needed, clipped the pipe where it needed to be and then fitted a proper service valve. Worst case it could have been a piece of plastic but absolutely no need for that finish and the flexi.

To answer the question though, a couple of pipe clips, if the pipe is close enough to the wall, will work fine but a drill and a masonry bit and plugs may be needed if it's a solid wall.
