HC Deb 28 January 1983 vol 35 c532W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will resist any move to allow the European Assembly to supervise expenditure in the United Kingdom incurred as part of the European Community budget refund.

Mr. Ridley

I do not foresee that such a move is likely to be made. Responsibility for verifying that the provisions of the relevant Community regulation have been met lies with the Commission and the Court of Auditors.
