The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, if her department has received the newly published evidence and impact report on the benefits of Erasmus+ by LEAP Sports Scotland.

Answered by Stephanie Peacock

This Government has agreed an important new deal that will open up opportunities for people to study, live and learn in the EU through our reassociation into the Erasmus+ programme in 2027.

We have noted the report published on 26 February 2026 by LEAP Sports Scotland regarding the benefits of Erasmus+. The government recognises the value of international exchange and will consider all relevant evidence as we prepare for reassociation.

Our approach to EU relations will always respect the role of the devolved governments and legislatures. We are working closely with colleagues in the devolved governments to achieve this.
