European Communities (Finance) Bill
No, I will not, if the hon. Gentleman does not mind. In 1960, about 14.6 per cent. of GDP was in exports to what are now EU member states. That figure is now closer to 60 per cent. Britain's wealth has doubled in the past 10 years, principally on account of our membership of the EU.
