Proceeding contribution from Peter Bone (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 29 March 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.


European Council

Last year, the British taxpayer paid £3 billion to the European Union. Next year, the British taxpayer will pay £6.6 billion to the EU. Is it not strange, at a time when the Government are planning public expenditure cuts, that an additional £3.6 billion is paid to the EU? Does the Prime Minister agree that we cannot go on like this and that it is time for change?
