It could but it won't. Same as economic support for the Celtic fringes. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are not going to see the same level of investment from Whitehall that they have from Brussels. When Margaret Thatcher took aim at the trade unions and in one full swoop killed off various b British industries, she made no British attempt to fix the problem. It took EU money and EU programs to setup enterprise zones in the Celtic fringes. UK governments have long ignored the needs of the country outside the south east. Same as investment in the NHS, which although not funded by the EU has badly needed structured investment for decades. Never happens. Successive governments just blame their predecessors or bad management and on this the cycle.
