The Government will guarantee projects funded by European Structural and Investment Funds where contracts have been signed prior to the UK leaving the EU. Such assurances apply even when these projects continue beyond the UK’s departure from the EU. Funding for these projects will be honoured by the Government provided they are good value for money and are in line with domestic strategic priorities.
