Proceeding contribution from George Osborne (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 11 August 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Global Economy.


Global Economy

We do debate the European budget in this Parliament, and they are often quite lively debates. We are fighting hard for a real-terms freeze in the European budget not just for next year but for the coming new financial perspective from 2014, and we have enlisted a number of allies. There is now an understanding across Europe that, with very tough public expenditure decisions at home in every European country, we also need to get control of the European budget.
