Motion to stop an increase in Britain’s EU budget contribution, 13 Oct 2010 [Clear]

In the face of the UK being forced to handover an above-inflation increase in Britain's EU budget contribution when the Government is poised to make reductions in public spending elsewhere; Douglas Carswell MP proposed that this increase is wrong and that the contribution made by British taxpayers’ to the European Union should be reduced. The Government opposed the motion.
