§ Mr. Teddy Taylorasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the total net contribution made by the United Kingdom to the European Economic Community in each of the previous five years; and if these figures take account of the transfer from European Economic Community to national responsibility of expenditure on agricultural policies like the disposal of butter surpluses.
§ Mr. Brooke[pursuant to his reply, 1 July 1987, c. 95.]: Details of the United Kingdom's net payments to European Community institutions for the past five financial years are contained in the last public expenditure White Paper (Cm. 56-II, table 3.3, page 68). These figures take account only of payments actually made to or received from the institutions concerned. During this period there was nothig analogous to the scheme for the deferred reimbursement of expenditure on the disposal of butter stocks which was agreed by the Agriculture Council this year.
