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

Mr. Jay

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how the United Kingdom's contribution to the European Economic Community budget in the current year compares with the estimated share of gross national product; whether the formula for revising the United Kingdom budget contribution agreed in the course of the renegotiations has been activated at any time to date; and whether he foresees its being activated in the foreseeable future.
