§ Mr. Teddy Taylorasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will set out the effect of the revised procedures for spending the 1982 European Economic Community rebate in consequence of the negotiations with the Budget Committee of the European Assembly; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Ridley[pursuant to his reply, 16 February 1983, c. 151.]: The arrangements for granting and paying the refunds for 1982 will be similar to those for the 1980 and 1981 refunds, except that part of our entitlement will be granted in the form of support for energy measures under a separate regulation proposed for this purpose.
