Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what discussions his officials had with the Office for National Statistics between January and October 2014 on provision for backdating of payments of European contributions to accord with the European Statistics Agency reconciliation of the European Budget under ESA95.

The net impact on UK contributions to the EU of revisions to the UK GNI under ESA95 could not have been calculated without the relevant information across all Member States.
