§ Mr. Llew SmithTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on the outcome of the negotiations over the funding of the global environmental facility held in Geneva from 14 March.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydI have been asked to reply.
I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave to my hon. Friend, the Member for Brentford and Isleworth (Mr. Deva) on 21 March at column 19. I am pleased to add that the replenishment total of US$2,023 million exceeds the US$2 billion target set, and that the ODA played a major role in negotiating the agreement on the restructuring of the global environment facility.
