§ Mr. Marlowasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer by how much the net United Kingdom contribution to the EEC budget would be reduced if each member country were required to finance the requirements of the common agricultural policy within its borders; and what the United Kingdom net contribution would then be based on the assumption that money compensation amounts benefit the exporting country where Community prices are higher than world market prices.
§ Mr. Lawson[pursuant to his reply, 13 December 1979, c. 731]: Although there would clearly be a significant reduction in the United Kingdom net contribution in these circumstances, it is not possible to quantify this in any meaningful way.
