Environment Protection: British Overseas Territories

Question for HM Treasury

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the replacement for the EU’s Financial Instrument for the Environment will allow Overseas Territories to access funding for large scale environmental projects which smaller instruments cannot address.

The funding choices we take after exiting the EU will be based on the UK’s priorities. Decisions will also be affected by the economic environment, the fiscal position and the negotiated outcome. As we start to take our own decisions in these areas, we will of course make sure all parts of the UK, including the Overseas Territories, are treated fairly.
