Lib Dems welcome Erasmus after years of campaigning 

Following the government’s announcement that the UK will rejoin the Erasmus scheme, Liberal Democrat Scottish affairs spokesperson Susan Murray MP said:

"For years, Liberal Democrats have fought to get us back into Erasmus, so this is welcome news.

“From young people to businesses, there are so many people in Scotland who have been messed around by the Conservatives’ harmful Brexit deal. The SNP promised a replacement but never delivered.

“The UK Government must do more to tear down barriers with Europe. They need to finally listen to our calls to negotiate a bespoke UK-EU customs union and commit to a youth mobility scheme to help future generations.”
