<p>With your permission, Mr Speaker, I would like to take question 8 and 12 together.</p><p>
</p><p>This Government is committed to protecting the world’s rainforests. During
my recent visit to Brazil, I raised the UK’s commitment to environmental protection
and offered support to Brazil in the transition to renewable energy and a lower carbon
economy.</p><p> </p><p>We are working in partnership with Brazil and through UK Government-led
programmes, investing over £150 million of climate finance in forest programmes across
the country.</p><p> </p><p>I was delighted that on my return from Brazil in August,
the PM announced an extra £10 million in the aftermath of recent fires.</p>
