Britain’s new Europe minister is urging Brussels to put politics aside and speed up the funding for academic research in science which has been held up since the dispute over the Northern Ireland Protocol.

Europe Minister Leo Docherty is due to make a speech to British and European parliamentarians on Nov. 7 in which he will accuse the EU of failing to fulfil its side of the post-Brexit trade agreement by refusing access to the £80 billion ($91 billion) Horizon programme.
