European Union: Regeneration Funding

Lord Harris of Haringey Excerpts

Thursday 21st July 2016 Lords Chamber

[Lord Foulkes of Cumnock (Lab)]

Away to Scotland!

[Lord Harris of Haringey (Lab)]

And take the rest of the Government with you.

[Lord Ashton of Hyde]

I am getting plenty of suggested answers. In fact, we did not vote to leave the UK, we voted to leave the EU. We will have to transition to new long-term arrangements where the UK does not participate in EU programmes, but these are not simple decisions without long-term consequences. Given those complexities, the Government will make an announcement soon, which will provide clarity.
