HC Deb 12 December 1988 vol 143 c421W
Mr. Redwood

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will list all the sources of revenue for the EEC in 1988 along with the latest estimates of the amounts to be raised in pounds sterling.

Mr. Brooke

Information on the own resources figures in the Community budget is included in the "Statement on the 1988 Community Budget", Cm. 525, tables II and IIa. The Community also has miscellaneous items of revenue and, in 1988, benefited from a surplus carried forward from 1987. These additional items amount to some 811 mecu (£541 million). Table III of the statement provides a slightly more up-to-date estimate of what the United Kingdom is likely to pay this year.
