answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/10/2017 answer text <p>The question concerns the future relationship between the UK and the European Investment Bank (EIB). This is something that will be determined as part of the negotiations on the UK’s exit from the EU and the Government will not be giving a running commentary on these negotiations.</p><p> </p><p>However, in his Mansion House speech on 20 June the Chancellor said that; “In the long-term, it may be mutually beneficial to maintain a relationship between the UK and the EIB after we leave the EU.” The EIB has been an important source of investment in the UK but the government has also committed to ensuring that finance continues to be available to borrowers and investors after the UK leaves the EU, irrespective of the outcome of the negotiations. This includes the expansion in June of the UK Guarantee Scheme which will offer construction guarantees for the first time. The government has also raised the limit on the amount the British Business Bank can invest in venture capital funds from 33% up to 50% and will bring forward some of the £400m of additional investment announced at Autumn Statement 2016.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Stephen Barclay question first answered 11/10/2017 13:05:27 answering member 4095 label Biography information for Steve Barclay

They do not contain any provisions relating to the departure of a member state from the EU. The UK is in the process of negotiating what its future relationship with the EIB will be, but the government is clear that the UK’s exit from the EU on its own does not change existing EIB Group contracts with UK counterparties.</p> answering member constituency North East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Stephen Barclay question first answered 20/09/2017 13:04:00 answering member 4095 label Biography information for Steve Barclay
