The UK\u2019s ability to import medical isotopes from Europe and the rest of the world will not be affected by withdrawal from Euratom.<\/p>

The import or export of medical radioisotopes, including molybdenum-99 is not subject to any Euratom licensing requirements.These isotopes are governed and regulated under the Euratom framework; however, Euratom places no restrictions on the export of medical isotopes to countries outside the EU.<\/p>

It is in everyone\u2019s interest to not disrupt the timely access of treatment to patients; and to ensure that cross-border trade with the EU and Euratom is as frictionless as possible.<\/p>

Digital connectivity is a clear priority for this Government, and we compare well to other EU countries. BDUK\u2019s Superfast programme will provide at least 24 Megabits per second (Mbps) coverage to 95% of the UK by the end of this year. According to the latest data, published on thinkbroadband.com<\/a>, UK coverage at 30Mbps is 92.6%.<\/p>

<\/p>

The European Commission, in their 2017 report "Europe's Digital Progress", state that the EU average for 30Mbps coverage is just 76%.<\/p>

<\/p>

In terms of 100Mbps coverage, thinkbroadband report that for the UK this currently stands at 52.8%. We are keen to ensure even better digital connectivity in the UK, and we announced a package of measures worth £1.1 billion at Autumn Statement 2016 to support this:<\/p>
