Question to the Department for International Development:

What recent discussions she has had with Cabinet colleagues on the use of Official Development Assistance to help communities in developing countries protect endangered species.

Protecting the environment is a top priority for this Government, as set out in the 25 Year Environment Plan published last week. DFID Ministers have had regular discussions on Illegal Wildlife Trade with Ministers from Defra and the FCO, planning for the UK hosted international Conference in October 2018.
