Environment Bill

Proceeding contribution from Steve Brine (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 26 May 2021. It occurred during Debate on bills on Environment Bill.

I am very happy to put my name to amendments 26 and 27, in particular amendment 27, on financial services. Many of our constituents will invest

with and use UK financial institutions, banks and pension funds, and they will have very little sight of the investments that they make around the world that could assist deforestation of the Amazon. Is not the key point that we cannot just rely on transparency—that it is a duty of the House to act, and this legislation is a golden opportunity to do that?
