Proceeding contribution from Andy Burnham (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 November 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Communities (Finance) Bill.


European Communities (Finance) Bill

The hon. Gentleman keeps making that point, but he is completely confused. The 2007 to 2013 budget and the own-resources decision that determines how that budget will be financed are inseparable; they are part of a package. If he reads the own-resources decision, he will see that it sets out a schedule for how the payments will be calculated and indeed how the British rebate is to be calculated. How on earth can he continue to make the point that the two things are not part of the same issue?
