Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what representations his Department has received from the UK Overseas Territories on maintaining UK Overseas Territory eligibility in a replacement mechanism for EU LIFE funding.
Defra is considering future environment funding for the Overseas Territories and decisions will be taken as part of the next Spending Review. We have received a range of representations on this issue. There are no plans to extend the remit of the specific ICF survey to which the hon. Member refers.
