European Communities (Finance) Bill

We have provided that detail. The deal has not been done in secret. Parliamentary answers have been given. An example that springs to mind is a reply given to the hon. Member for Surrey Heath (Michael Gove). We laid out on the record detailed figures about the effect of the agreement on the United Kingdom. I have the figures. There was a table showing gross contribution before abatement, the abatement, total receipts expected and the net contribution. Those are detailed figures that we put before the House. I am grateful that the hon. Member for Dundee, East says that he agrees with much of what I am saying. I am not against detailed parliamentary scrutiny of the deal. I began my remarks by saying that the deal has been negotiated. My hon. Friend the Member for Glasgow, South-West (Mr. Davidson) and others may reject it if they believe that it is not good enough. That is the right of any hon. Member, but it is not possible to go back and negotiate line by line with our European partners.
