To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, if her Department will continue to support at present levels the Energy Africa Campaign.

James Wharton

The UK Government is playing a leading role in improving energy access in development countries. For example, through our Energy Africa Campaign we are working with solar firms to accelerate the expansion of the household solar market in Sub-Saharan Africa, helping to bring universal energy access in the continent forward from 2080 to 2030. The Government remains fully committed to this objective.
