Written Answers
Tropical Forest Forever Facility Asked by: Earl of Courtown (Conservative - Life peer) Wednesday 5th August 2026 Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero: To ask His Majesty's Government whether the allocated funding to be given to the Tropical Forests Forever Fund will be turned into a loan to pay for the announcement made by the Prime Minister on 22 July to reintroduce the £2 bus fare cap. Answered by Baroness Curran - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero) The Tropical Forests Forever Facility (TFFF) represents a critical evolution in forests finance. Switching funding that had been set aside for international climate finance projects from grants into loans allows DENSZ to make £400m of financial transactions available to support the government's intention to invest in international climate finance projects, which could include projects such as TFFF. I will keep the House updated on the Government’s decision to invest into TFFF.
British International Investment Asked by: Earl of Courtown (Conservative - Life peer) Friday 31st July 2026 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask His Majesty's Government what loan repayment terms usually apply to payments to British International Investment. Answered by Lord Wood of Anfield - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) Through its British Climate Partners (BCP) Initiative British International Investment (BII) will principally provide equity and mezzanine finance. BII does not anticipate providing funding through BCP in the form of grants. BII plans to invest over £1 billion through BCP over the next five years, with this in turn expected to unlock an additional £3.5 billion in private capital. The financial return BII targets on its investments depends on a range of factors - particularly the risk profile of the investment. The terms of BII's individual investments are commercially confidential.
