Ian Murray – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Ian Murray on 2016-10-10.

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, what discussions the Government has had with Ministers in the Scottish Government on future access for Scottish students to the Erasmus Plus Scheme after the UK leaves the EU.

Mr Robin Walker

There is no change to those currently participating in, or about to start, Erasmus+ exchanges. The Prime Minister has made it very clear that it will take time for the UK government to agree its position for the negotiations. As part of this, the government will of course want to engage fully with the devolved administrations and listen to their views.
