Deforestation in the Amazon

Proceeding contribution from Neil Parish (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 5 January 2022. It occurred during Debate on Deforestation in the Amazon.

I welcome the fact that financial institutions have made that commitment to stop funding deforestation, but many of our own, homegrown banks are still funding it. Please may I ask the Government to put real pressure on those banks? We all deal with them, and they have many good parts to them, but they must not put money into companies that are deforesting. If we take away the financial blood, they will not be able to carry on doing such damage.
