Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will make an estimate of the projected interest costs to the taxpayer of the £11.6 billion in overseas climate aid.

The UK has committed to deliver £11.6bn of International Climate Finance (ICF3) to support developing countries’ climate mitigation and adaptation action from Financial Year 2021/22 to Financial Year 2025/26.

The Office for Budget Responsibility produces forecasts for interest costs in the round as part of its independent official forecast.
