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
