answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/12/2016 answer text <p>In response to Q311, at the Treasury Committee on Monday 12 December, the Chancellor referenced the process for EU Structural Funds rather than for Horizon 2020.</p><p>The Treasury will underwrite all successful bids for Horizon 2020 that are approved by the Commission, even when specific projects continue beyond our departure from the EU. Government departments will not assess Horizon 2020 grant applications as it is an EU programme, independent of the UK government, and grant funding is awarded by the Commission based on peer review.</p><p>UK businesses and universities should continue to bid for competitive EU funds while we remain a member of the EU, and we will work with the Commission to ensure payment when funds are awarded.</p> answering member constituency Stockton South answering member printed James Wharton question first answered 20/12/2016 17:38:58 answering member 4123 label Biography information for Lord Wharton of Yarm
