European Union (Finance) Bill

Proceeding contribution from David Gauke (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 23 June 2015. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on European Union (Finance) Bill.

Yes, we would resist such a move. It would be a fundamental change to the nature of our relationship with the European Union, and one that would go in entirely the wrong direction for the United Kingdom. There were calls in the negotiations for such a step to be taken. There were calls, for example, for a financial transaction tax to be introduced to finance EU spending. We resisted that. The Prime Minister was very clear in ruling it out from any deal.
