Proceeding contribution from Lord Redwood (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 15 January 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HC) and Debate on bill on European Communities (Finance) Bill.
European Communities (Finance) Bill
Given that the decision was negotiated some time ago, perhaps when the Government agreed to it they thought that they could afford to give away €10.5 billion of hard-pressed taxpayers' money. However, they now cannot afford a decent pay rise, awarded by an independent commission, for the police and they are achieving record levels of borrowing and taxation. Should not the Chief Secretary reconsider, in order to be a prudent manager of our money?
