answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/04/2019 answer text <p>European Union Framework Programme funding for United Kingdom-based projects, including those on cancer research, will not necessarily be linked to the UK’s involvement in the European Research Area.</p><p> </p><p>If we leave with the Withdrawal Agreement, UK participants will still be eligible for funding from Horizon 2020, including for cancer research projects. As a responsible Government, we are continuing to prepare for a ‘no deal’ scenario. In a ‘no deal’ scenario, the Government has committed to fund all successful UK bids to Horizon 2020 submitted before the end of 2020 and for the lifetime of projects. This guarantee will enable UK researchers and businesses to continue to access funding required to participate in Horizon 2020 and will support ongoing world-leading collaboration, including in cancer research.</p><p> </p><p>Looking beyond Horizon 2020, in any scenario we want to continue to back the UK research and innovation community by supporting the provision of opportunities for world-class collaborative research. We are continuing to seek a relationship with the European Union on science and innovation including the option of future association to excellence-based EU research and innovation funding programmes.</p><p> </p><p>National Institute for Health Research cancer research expenditure has risen from £101 million in 2010/11 to £136 million in 2017/18. This constitutes the largest investment in a disease area. A large proportion of this funding comprises support for the delivery of Cancer Research UK-funded research in the National Health Service.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 04/04/2019 11:13:19 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/04/2019 answer text <p>The UK continues to meet all current international air quality limits except for NO2. In July 2017 we published the NO2 Plan, backed by £3.5 billion funding, which sets out the steps we are taking to comply with NO2 limits as soon as possible. Also, we published our ambitious Clean Air Strategy in January which the Director-General of the World Health Organization described as “an example for the rest of the world to follow”.</p><p> </p><p>Recognising that there are still local authorities which are in breach of statutory limits on roadside NO2 concentrations, the UK government allocated £495 million of funding to support local authorities in its 2017 plan. Local authorities already have many powers to monitor and reduce air pollution and we continue to work intensively with them, to identify measures to bring forward compliance as soon as possible.</p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 04/04/2019 15:42:02 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey
