Will Brexit lead to the abandonment of Crossrail2 and Turning South London Orange?

Then the shortfall should be paid by the UK treasury, and deducted from
the amount paid to Brussels.
It's not so simple. Countries are not rewarded with research participation
based on their EU contributions. They are included because their
universities are appropriate participants. We have the best EU universities
and so were included disproportionately; now, knowing we will soon be gone,
our universities are not considered for inclusion in new EU-funded
projects, as their work may not be funded after 2018.
Same answer - fund our OWN universities from the amount we pay in EU contributions.
But the whole £350m(sic) has already been promised to the NHS, or was it
Cornwall, or perhaps Wales.
