Leaving the EU means we will want to take our own decisions about how to deliver the policy objectives previously targeted by EU funding.

We will consult closely with stakeholders, including the Scottish Government, to review all EU funding schemes in the round, to ensure that any ongoing funding commitments best serve the UK‘s national interest.
