Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask His Majesty's Government what criteria were used to determine which of the regions that were in receipt of the Biodiverse Landscapes Fund will not receive future funding.
Following the decision to reduce UK ODA to fund an increase in defence spending and Defra receiving a reduced ODA budget in SR25 the criteria used to determine which Biodiverse Landscapes Fund regions would not receive future funding primarily focused on project performance and delivery.
