Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether he has made an assessment of the potential soft power benefits of the UK's full association with the next Erasmus+ programme after the UK leaves the EU.
I refer My hon. Friend, the Member for Preseli Pembrokeshire to the answer I gave on 8 May 2019 to Question 252019.
The government is considering the value for money of the UK's participation in the Erasmus+ programme. Ultimately, any decisions about our participation in the Erasmus+ programme will also be a matter for wider negotiations about our future relationship with the EU.
