Green MEP for Cornwall Dr Molly Scott Cato has accused the Government of failing to produce any plan for funding for the county beyond 2020, when EU funds cease.

She said a recent allocation of £18m a year from the Department for Communities and Local Government failed to match the £60m annual payment from the EU

Dr Scott Cato said: ’Cornwall’s farmers also face huge uncertainty over the future of their agricultural support payments when we leave the EU.’
