Mr. Jim Breslin:

From the publications released by the Commission in December 2018, we know that there is recognition of the importance of those funds in Brussels. As has just been said, there is a commitment to continue with the current programme but the importance of building upon it is also being looked at. Even in the context of no deal, I do not believe that Brussels will say that it is over with. The UK authorities and ourselves are certainly committed to trying to continue with co-operation.
