​Discussions concerning a possible replacement for BEST funding, involving the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, HM Treasury, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, and the Department for Exiting the European Union, are scheduled to take place later this month. Following this, there will be an opportunity for further discussions on this issue to take place at a Ministerial level.
