Proceeding contribution from Peter Bone (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 December 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.


European Council

I am the happiest of Back Benchers now that we have a Prime Minister who stands up for British interests in Europe—although I have not received a Christmas card. Does the Prime Minister agree that the biggest scandal of the previous Labour Government was their surrender of Mrs Thatcher's rebate, the result of which is that we will pay £41 billion to the EU in the next five years, which is twice what we paid in the previous five years?
