HC Deb 08 December 1980 vol 995 cc241-2W
Mr. Marlow

asked the Prime Minister if she will confirm that on no account will she agree to any further source of EEC own resources financing in addition to Customs duties, agricultural levies and "per cent." value added tax.

The Prime Minister

The Government are determined that the 1 per cent. VAT ceiling should not be exceeded. Furthermore, we are not prepared to agree to increases elsewhere in own resources which would have a similar effect.
