Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 5:01 pm on 1 February 2022.
I thank the Minister for this important statement. Llywydd, if I may, I want to start by welcoming the appointment of Derek Vaughan to this role. Derek will bring a wealth of experience to the role, and I think it's a fantastic appointment. Minister, one question from me. Do you agree and can you confirm today that one of the priorities for those who are looking to strengthen our relationship with the European Union should be that organisations in Wales should be able to still take advantage of the research funding from Horizon Europe, as and when the EU agrees our participation?
