Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, with reference to his Department's press release entitled UK calls for fundamental reset of global financial system for developing countries, published on 14 October 2026, what estimate his Department has made of the expected financial returns for the public purse from the investment in climate insurance in low-income countries.

The reforms highlighted under the development finance priorities are in the UK's interests. Reform means greater global economic stability and growth and investment opportunities for UK businesses and investors.
