§ 28. Mr. Flanneryasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the United Kingdom contribution to the European Economic Community budget in 1979 and 1980; and what is the expected contribution in 1981.
§ Sir Geoffrey HoweThe United Kingdom's net contribution to the Community budget in 1979 was £947.2 million; a figure for the actual contribution in 1980 is not yet available. Regarding estimates for 1980 and 1981, I have nothing to add to the reply which my hon. Friend the Financial Secretary gave to the right hon. Member for Llanelli (Mr. Davies) on 28 November.
