To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what are the estimated net contributions to/from the European Union in each year following the EU/UK reset, including contributions to Erasmus+ and the EU Cohesion Fund, and what assessment has he made of the potential impact of the reset on the 2030 net...
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what are the estimated net contributions to/from the European Union in each year following the EU/UK reset, including contributions to Erasmus+ and the EU Cohesion Fund, and what assessment has he made of the potential impact of the reset on the 2030 net...
The Government does not produce an estimate of a single net annual contribution to or from the European Union. Payments relating to the UK's participation in EU programmes and other agreements are disclosed in the relevant departmental accounts. For Erasmus+ in particular, contributions in 2027 are estimated at £570m. Participation in EU programmes under the next Multiannual Financial Framework from 2028 will be subject to further negotiations.
The UK is not currently contributing to EU Cohesion Funds as a consequence of the May 2025 Common Understanding. Whilst the EU is seeking to establish a mechanism for a UK financial contribution towards reducing economic and social disparities between the regions of the Union as part of participation in the Internal Electricity Market, any UK financial contribution would be subject to negotiations with the EU, and no contributions have yet been made or agreed upon.
The UK also continues to make and receive payments under the financial provisions of the Withdrawal Agreement. The Office for Budget Responsibility's forecast of those payments is presented on a net basis and is published in the OBR’s biannual Economic and Fiscal Forecast. The forecast negative value in 2030 reflects the expectation that receipts will exceed payments in that year. Obligations under the Withdrawal Agreement are not impacted by the May 2025 Common Understanding.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 7 September 2026 to Question 20813, what assessment his Department has made of the potential impact of the UK/EU reset and new financial obligations to the EU on changes to the profile of payments to and from the...

As announced on 17 December 2025, the UK has agreed to join the Erasmus+ programme in 2027 at a 30% discount compared to the default terms of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA). This will require a payment of c. £570m. The UK’s existing financial obligations to the EU under the Withdrawal Agreement and the TCA are unchanged. The Government will continue to assess the financial implications of any further commitments as the relevant arrangements are negotiated and implemented.

The European Criminal Records Information System (“ECRIS”), enables the exchange of information on criminal records throughout the EU. The Trade and Cooperation Agreement provides for continued exchange of criminal records between the UK and EU Member States post-EU Exit. The Government does not routinely publish commercial contracts and has no plans to place in the Library a copy of the licensing agreement relating to the operation of the European Criminal Records Information System (“ECRIS”). ECRIS is operated by the UK Criminal Records Office, ACRO, and related contracts are the responsibility of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary, as the host force for ACRO.
Regarding EU road transport agencies, on 30 October 2025, the UK and the EU agreed to share information reciprocally through the European Register of Road Transport Undertakings. The agreement was adopted via three decisions under the Trade and Cooperation Agreement Specialised Committee on Road Transport on GOV.UK and implemented domestically through The European Registers of Road Transport Undertakings (Disclosure of Information) (Amendment) Regulations 2025. Explanatory Memoranda relating to both measures were deposited to Parliament for scrutiny via the European Affairs Committee and Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments.

Payments for participation in EU agencies and systems are made by the relevant department. In 2025/26, the Home Office provided the EU with c.£0.2m for the European Criminal Records Information System and the Department for Transport provided the EU with c.£0.1m for Road Transport Agencies participation. Future contributions could be subject to fluctuations, for instance to reflect exchange rates.

The UK Government has agreed to negotiate with the European Commission on potential participation in the equity instruments of the European Innovation Council (EIC) Fund, including the Scaleup Europe Fund. Whilst negotiations are ongoing we are unable to provide updates. Any decision will be subject to agreeing terms that represent fair value and support UK innovation and growth objectives.

The Office for Budget Responsibility's forecast of the EU Financial Settlement is presented on a net basis and reflects both payments from the UK to the European Union and receipts by the UK arising from the Financial Settlement.
The forecast negative value in 2030 shown in Table 4.15 reflects the expectation that receipts associated with the Financial Settlement will exceed payments in that year. As set out in HM Treasury’s annual European Union Finances Statement, the Financial Settlement is a methodology for settling obligations rather than a fixed sum. Consequently, both the timing and value of annual net flows depend on outturn factors, including invoices received and receipts due to the UK.

HM Government’s contributions to the EU are treated as standard government expenditure and are reported and accounted for in the relevant departmental accounts.
The European Union Finances Statement reports on HM Treasury’s contributions to the EU under the Financial Settlement, reflecting the historical treatment of these payments outside the normal spending framework. Payments to the EU for other purposes, including those related to the UK’s association with certain EU programmes under the Trade and Cooperation Agreement, will continue to be reported through the responsible department’s accounts.

HM Treasury discloses the invoices under the UK-EU Financial Settlement under the Withdrawal Agreement in the EU Finances Statement (EUFS). This includes the UK payments to and from the EU, as well as the line-by-line breakdown of the payments under each Article of the Withdrawal Agreement.
The EUFS is published annually and forms part of HMT’s disclosure and transparency obligations as agreed with the Public Accounts Committee in 1980 when the UK was a Member State. The next edition of the EUFS will cover UK payments to and from the EU in 2026, and is expected to be published in Spring 2027.

Any decision will be subject to agreeing terms that represent fair value and support UK innovation and growth objectives.

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what is the expected annual cost to the public purse of commitments to the European Commission further to new agreements negotiated since July 2024 for each of the next five years.
The total estimated cost of agreements concluded with the EU since 2024 over the next five years is around £570m, the overwhelming majority of which represents Erasmus+ association costs which will be paid in 2027. UK participation in Erasmus+ beyond 2027 will be subject to further negotiations.
Negotiations with the European Commission are ongoing in other areas. Following the conclusion of negotiations, the associated costs will be reported to Parliament in the usual way.
