Proceeding contribution from Lord Pearson of Rannoch (UK Independence Party) in the House of Lords on Monday, 4 February 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Communities (Finance) Bill.
European Communities (Finance) Bill
My Lords, does the noble Lord agree that it would be helpful if the Minister set forth the gross as well as the net contributions because it is the gross contributions that we pay, out of which Brussels is graciously pleased to send back some billions on projects designed to improve its own image, which we would not necessarily spend if we were not in this frightful racket?
