Ms Gisela Stuart (Birmingham, Edgbaston) (Lab)
Will the Minister update the House on the progress made in negotiating the multiannual financial framework?
Mr Lidington
We continue to work closely with other EU member states to try to achieve a settlement, which would be agreed on the basis of a significant further cut from the figures that the Commission currently proposes, and to maintain and protect the United Kingdom’s rebate and so deliver a better deal than our predecessors achieved last time the negotiations took place.
