Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what relationship the UK will have with (1) the International Science and Technology Centre, and (2) the Science and Technology Centre in Ukraine following the UK's withdrawal from the EU.

The UK is currently funding one project with the International Science and Technology Centre which is due to conclude in March 2019, and is not currently working on any projects with the Science and Technology Centre in Ukraine.

Following the UK’s withdrawal from the EU, we would consider whether to fund projects with these organisations on a case by case basis, depending on their importance for meeting our international non-proliferation and security objectives.
