Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, pursuant to the Answer of 26 October 2026 to Question 36344 on the Tropical Forests Forever Facility, what assessment her Department has made of the risk of the UK not recovering its proposed £400 million investment in full; and whether the Government will bear any losses arising from underperformance of the Tropical Forest Investment Fund.

The UK is proposing to make a £400 million investment as a repayable investment to the Tropical Forest Investment Fund (TFIF), the investment arm of the TFFF. We are currently working with experts across Government and the TFIF Transition Committee to model and assess the Fund’s risk and return profile. This assessment will be fully considered ahead of Ministers making a final investment decision on whether to support the TFFF.
