HC Deb 24 November 1980 vol 994 c42W
Mr. Teddy Taylor

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer (1) if he is now in a position to estimate the net contribution which the United Kingdom will make to the European Economic Community in 1980;

(2) if the payment of 80 per cent. of the rebates due for 1980 from the European Economic Community by April 1981 is dependent on a fishing agreement being negotiated with the European Economic Community;

(3) what redress is available to the United Kingdom if the appropriate European Economic Community committees do not approve sufficient projects in time to enable 80 per cent. of the rebates due in respect of 1980 to be paid by April 1981; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Lawson

I shall let my hon. Friend have a reply as soon as possible.
