Horizon deal shows UK and EU can resolve issues, says Rishi Sunak

Prime minister hails deal as sign of restored trust and raises electric car tariffs as area for further agreement

The deal to readmit the UK into the 85bn Horizon science programme shows the country has good enough relations with the EU to resolve a range of other issues, Rishi Sunak has said, including one on electric vehicle tariffs.

The prime minister announced on Thursday that Britain would re-enter the scientific research scheme after three years of exclusion and months of negotiation.
