§ 47. Mr. Campbell-Savoursasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what additional resources from the EEC will be available for application in the county of Cumbria consequent upon the measures being taken to reduce the United Kingdom's net contribution to the Community.
§ Mr. LawsonDetailed arrangements for implementing the agreement on reducing our net contribution to the Community budget have still to be agreed, and it is too early to say what expenditure programmes in the United Kingdom will be associated with the Community's supplementary measures scheme. But the Government have made it clear that the extra receipts from the Community will not increase the overall level of public expenditure.
