INTERREG Programme

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what plans he has to support the participation of English regions in European Territorial Cooperation programmes after the UK leaves the EU.

Answer

The future relationship we will have with the EU is being agreed through the formal negotiations between the Government and European Commission. It would be premature to speculate about the precise nature of that at this stage.

The Government has been clear that it wants to create a new era of cooperation and partnership between the UK and the EU. We are negotiating to secure a deal that works for every region in the country.
