It is regrettable that the EU continues to decline this request. The UK government is now considering next steps. Our priority is to support the UK’s world leading R&amp;D sector and we have already outlined potential options for doing so.</p><p>Our preference remains association to the EU programmes as agreed under the Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA), including Horizon Europe, and we continue to do everything we can to secure this. The EU is in breach of the agreement reached under the TCA for the UK to participate in EU programmes and these unjustified delays are causing uncertainty for our research and business communities. That is why we entered into formal consultations with the EU, which are a mechanism set out in the TCA to resolve issues between the UK and the EU.</p><p>The 2021 Spending Review confirmed that if we are unable to associate, the funding allocated to Horizon association will go to UK government R&amp;D programmes, including international partnerships.</p> answering member constituency Wealden answering member printed Ms Nusrat Ghani question first answered 28/09/2022 14:00:48 answering member 4460 label Biography information for Ms Nusrat Ghani
