Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, whether the UK's application to join the Horizon Europe Association is linked to the UK's joining the Euratom association.

The Government is moving forward with discussions on the UK’s involvement in EU programmes. Talks are ongoing across the full range of programmes, including Euratom. Whilst the government’s preference is to associate with Horizon, any deal must be value for money for taxpayers and in the best interests of UK science and research.
