HC Deb 05 February 1990 vol 166 c474W
Mr. Marlow

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will list in a separate tabulation for each of the last three years, including the estimate for 1989, the receipts and contributions to the EEC budget under each of the major headings value added tax, agricultural levies CE7, fourth resource, agricultural receipts, social fund receipts etc., setting out the net contribution/receipt, followed by the notional shape of the cost of central Community institutions allocated on a population basis leading to an amended net contribution/receipt as calculated by addition/subtraction of this notional value.

Mr. Ryder

[holding answer 31 January 1990]: Full information about the net contributions or receipts of each of the member states is not available. It is, therefore, not possible to show the notional impact on net positions of allocating the cost of central Community institutions in line with population shares.
