<p>Under the Withdrawal Agreement Article 152, paragraph 3 confirms that the Overseas
Territories (OTs) shall benefit from EDF11 until its closure. Based on current patterns
of expenditure, we reliably estimate they will continue to have access to EDF 11 until
2024 and possibly beyond.</p><p>After we leave the EU, we will want to take our own
decisions about how to deliver the policy objectives previously targeted by EU funding.
The UK Government will take account of the impact of EU Exit on the Overseas Territories,
including the question of access to EDF funds, to ensure that we discharge our full
responsibilities to the OTs.</p>
