EU: Financial Management and Fraud (EUC Report)

My Lords, I thank the Minister for his reply and your Lordships for an extremely lively debate. I even thank the noble Lords, Lord Willoughby de Broke and Lord Pearson of Rannoch, who clearly have their own agenda. They are not interested in what we had to say in our report; indeed, I doubt that they had actually read it, but that is neither here nor there. In the report, we were trying to look at the facts, to highlight the shortcomings and what is wrong with the financial management of the EU, and to come forward with practical suggestions and proposals. I hope that we have done that, as that has been the subject of the debate tonight. On Question, Motion agreed to.
