Proceeding contribution from Denis MacShane (Independent (affiliation)) in the House of Commons on Monday, 24 October 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.
European Council
The Prime Minister prayed in aid Margaret Thatcher, but she put her money where her mouth was in the sense that the UK contribution to the European Community went up from £656 million in 1984 to £2.54 billion in 1990—a fourfold increase. Then, it was to help Greece, Spain, Portugal and Ireland. Does the Prime Minister plan to emulate her to help Poland, Latvia and our poorer friends in the new Europe?
