European Communities (Finance) Bill

The Minister said earlier that we were not taking into account the way that the EU operates. The problem for him is that we understand far too well how the EU operates. It is a fraudulent and corrupt organisation. He has said in the past that he is concerned about the level of fraud in the EU budget. My constituents cannot understand why he does not say to the European Union, ““You are not going to get one more penny from the UK until you sort yourselves out and make sure that all the money that you are spending is properly accounted for.””
