HC Deb 26 March 1987 vol 113 cc265-6W
22. Mr. Galley

asked the chancellor of the Exchequer what progress has been made in his policy towards the European Community's interpretation of the additionality principle with regard to European Economic Community grants.

Mr. Ian Stewart

The Government's policy remains, as it has always been, that receipts from the European Community enable United Kingdom public expenditure to be maintained at levels higher than could otherwise have been afforded.
