Local authority level NEET estimates for England are published annually as transparency data from NCCIS and can be accessed at the following link: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/neet-and-participation-local-authority-figures" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/neet-and-participation-local-authority-figures</a>. However, these estimates should be used with caution as the headline NEET measure includes people whose activities are not known in order to incentivise local authorities to track all young people.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 19/02/2019 17:44:38 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/02/2019 answer text <p>The Government’s priority remains agreeing a deal with the EU. A ratified deal based on the provisions set out in the proposed Withdrawal Agreement would ensure that UK participants could continue to receive EU funding from EU Programmes committed under the 2014-2020 Multiannual Financial Framework for the lifetime of these projects.

If we leave the EU without a deal in place, the underwrite guarantee and extension are Government commitments to provide funding required for the UK to participate in Horizon 2020 until the end of 2020 and for the lifetime of projects. In this scenario, HM Treasury will provide additional funding on top of existing departmental budgets – further demonstrating the Government’s commitment to the UK’s world-class research base.</p><p>Underwrite funding will be paid to UK beneficiaries in pounds sterling.
