UK Relations with EU: Contributions

Question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the Treasury's policy paper entitled Joint statement following the twelfth meeting of the Specialised Committee on Financial Provisions, published on 4 June 2026, if she will place in the Library (a) a copy of the 11th invoice submitted by the European Commission and (b) any associated documentation.

Answer

HM Treasury discloses the invoices under the UK-EU Financial Settlement under the Withdrawal Agreement in the EU Finances Statement (EUFS). This includes the UK payments to and from the EU, as well as the line-by-line breakdown of the payments under each Article of the Withdrawal Agreement.

The EUFS is published annually and forms part of HMT’s disclosure and transparency obligations as agreed with the Public Accounts Committee in 1980 when the UK was a Member State. The next edition of the EUFS will cover UK payments to and from the EU in 2026, and is expected to be published in Spring 2027.
