§ Dr. FoxTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will estimate Wales's contribution to the EU budget during the next six year period. [64500]

Estimates of Wales's contribution would depend on exactly which of many hypothetical assumptions are made about which taxes, at UK level, are deemed to finance the EU contribution, because different taxes have different regional effects.
