HC Deb 12 February 1985 vol 73 c148W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if any part of the rebates payable to the United Kingdom by the European Economic Community under the Fontainebleau agreement will be in the form of project finance.

Mr. Ian Stewart

No. Under Fontainebleau, the United Kingdom's EC contributions will be reduced by abatement of our VAT payments.
