Diana Johnson – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the HM Treasury

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Diana Johnson on 2016-07-20.

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what discussions he has held with the European Commission on whether the Commission will honour the full amounts of financial grants awarded for regional development in the most recent spending round.

Mr David Gauke

The UK will continue to have all of the rights, obligations and benefits that membership brings, including receiving European funding, up until the point we leave the EU. The UK has not commenced negotiations for what happens after we leave the EU. At every step of the upcoming negotiations we will work to ensure the best possible outcome for the British people.
