Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what steps they will take to match, post-Brexit, the funding provided by the European Investment Bank for the environment and water industry within the UK; and what long-term plans they intend to have in place to guarantee future funding.

The Government is in the process of assessing the contribution the EIB makes in the UK, including in the water sector, but we are clear that the future relationship between the UK and the EIB will be a matter for the Article 50 negotiations.
