	answer	answer answer text <p>There is as yet no European Investment Bank (EIB) funding of the European Defence Fund (EDF) programme. With the EU Commission's 'Financial Toolbox' proposal still in the very early stages of development, it is unlikely that there will be any EIB funding of the EDF while the UK is in the EU, and accordingly no UK share.</p>
