HC Deb 14 February 1986 vol 91 cc582-3W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if the EEC budget for 1986 finally agreed by the Council balances anticipated expenditure and anticipated income; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Renton

Both the draft budget, as amended by the Council at the Second Reading, and the budget as adopted by the European Parliament, were in balance.
