Proceeding contribution from Bob Spink (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 8 May 2006. It occurred during Parliamentary proceeding on Future EU Finances and Own Resources.

Future EU Finances and Own Resources

May I provide an intervention to which the hon. Gentleman might be able to respond? Does he accept that, good as things are in Caerphilly, they could be even better? Every member of the European Free Trade Area has a higher level of GDP than the low average of the EU members, and exports more to European countries than we do. If we were outside the EU, we could be sustaining even more economic growth, even more per capita GDP and even more per capita exports and therefore jobs in Caerphilly.
