The loss of UK funding will be serious across all the European Union in the event of a no-deal Brexit. At this stage we do not know the impact on budget lines. It is something of which we are conscious and hence the Government's focus on trying to ensure there is a deal, within which the UK would pay a certain amount.

Its net impact remains to be seen but we are certainly very conscious of it across all Departments.
