First Minister, you've just picked on an area I was going to ask you about—Wales's European funding. Now, our universities have benefited from European funding—not just Horizon 2020, but other streams of European funding. What assurances have you had from the UK Government that any funding stream that universities would have benefited from for research—for example, the coal and steel research funding projects—will be actually reallocated to Welsh universities and not into a central pot and spread into other areas, so that our universities can still continue to benefit from the funding that would have been available under the European Union?
