The Government will guarantee EU Structural and Investment fund projects signed before we leave the EU, even where these continue after we leave. Beyond these priorities, decisions on the replacement of EU funding will be taken in light of wider UK strategic priorities and other domestic spending decisions. As we transition to longer-term arrangements, we will ensure the devolved administrations are treated fairly and their circumstances are taken into account.

The department continues to discuss with Sir Mark Walport, the Government's Chief Scientific Adviser, what more we should do to ensure that DExEU is accessing the very best scientific expertise.<\/p>
There are several models for achieving this, and it is important for us to take into account DExEU\u2019s role as a co-ordinating department when considering what provisions to put in place.<\/p>
The department is currently exploring these options, including considering the appointment of a Chief Scientific Adviser. The Prime Minister has been clear that we want to secure the rights of EU citizens in the UK and UK citizens in the EU as early as possible. We are seeking a reciprocal agreement with the EU to safeguard the rights of UK citizens, and it will be for the EU and its Member States to decide how they will implement any agreed deal.<\/p>"}
