answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/08/2016 answer text <p>We want to reassure UK universities there is no immediate effect on them and their students and staff from EU countries.

I issued a statement on 28 June addressing the most immediate questions raised by the sector (<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/news/statement-on-higher-education-and-research-following-the-eu-referendum" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/news/statement-on-higher-education-and-research-following-the-eu-referendum</a>). Ministers have also had discussions with a range of higher and further education stakeholders and our priority will be to work with the sector to help shape our approach in the coming months.</p><p> </p><p>The Government intends to maintain and enhance the strength of our research base, which is why we have protected the science resource budget in real terms from its 2015/16 level of £4.7 billion for the rest of the parliament and will seek to secure the best deal possible for UK research in future negotiations.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Orpington answering member printed Joseph Johnson question first answered 02/08/2016 13:37:56 answering member 4039 label Biography information for Lord Johnson of Marylebone

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/07/2016 answer text <p>The Prime Minister has said she will not trigger Article 50 until we have a UK approach and objectives, and Article 50 should therefore not be invoked before the end of this year. The process for leaving the EU and determining our future relationship will be a complex one, so we need to take time to think through our objectives and approach. We want to ensure the best possible outcome for Britain and the future UK-EU relationship.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 27/07/2016 09:58:22 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
