§ Mr. William RossTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to his answer of 10 February,Official Report, columns 459–62, regarding sums paid and received by each member state of the EU, if he will publish a table to indicate the net sums received, or paid, by each state in each year since 1984. [14576]
§ Mr. Heathcoat-Amory[holding answer 21 March 1995]: This information can readily he derived from the tables in my earlier reply. However, as the Court of Auditors report does not attribute all budget expenditure to individual member states, the difference between payments made to member states and actual own resources paid by member states should not be regarded as indicating definitive net contributions for each member state.
