Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :
To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, what plans the Government has to negotiate for the European Medicines Agency to remain in the UK.
Answered by Steve Baker
As the Chancellor has said, ultimately the location of the European Union’s agencies will be for the European Union.
The UK’s future relationship with the EMA is a matter for negotiation. In the negotiations the Government will discuss with the EU and Member States how best to continue cooperation in the field of medicines regulation in the best interests of both the UK and the EU.
