"We are conscious of the fact that the EU makes a significant contribution to UK research and, indeed, that the UK receives more in grants from Horizon 2020 and its predecessors than it has contributed to the programmes."

"A vital aspect of the partnership working across the EU is the capacity for research staff to work, learn and teach in institutions across the Union."
Or, Freedom of Movement, one of the central pillars of the EU
"Hence, we believe that common regulatory frameworks should remain for research and medicines. In particular, we would support the UK’s continued membership of the European Medicines Agency"
Yes! We want to remain a member of European agencies when it suits us
"and believe that this would be facilitated by the Agency remaining in London"
And we'd like our cake and eat it...
