Mr Jayawardena

The hon. Lady is right: there is, of course, more that can be done, which is why the United Kingdom has already committed \xA3259 million to Brazil through its international climate finance programme to tackle deforestation. For example, the early movers programme rewards pioneers in forest conservation, and another programme led by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has protected the clearance of something like 430,000 acres in Brazil.
