MPs say UK research frozen because of Brexit delay (BBC)
UK scientists are likely to be "frozen out" of EU research programmes because of delays in Brexit negotiations, according to MPs.
Earlier this month, the EU indicated that the UK's participation in its £100bn research programme was tied to negotiations over Northern Ireland.
The Commons European Scrutiny Select Committee says British science will not recover from "lost opportunities".
Its chair, Sir Bill Cash, said that the delay was damaging UK businesses.
"It's been the best part of a year and British research institutions remain frozen out of key projects and funding despite agreement on participation. With each passing day, the opportunities are missed, British institutions are left high and dry while science marches on without them and the returns on our financial contribution edge lower," said Mr Cash.
