Proceeding contribution from Denis MacShane (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 31 October 2012. It occurred during Debate on Multiannual Financial Framework.
Multiannual Financial Framework
My hon. Friend might be a bit young to recall that in 1984 Britain’s contribution to the then European Community was £654 million. Six years later it had risen fourfold to £2.54 billion. Does he remember which Prime Minister sprayed British taxpayers’ money all over Europe, or are we all now post-Thatcherite, because the Conservative party certainly is?
