Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government how much of the difference between the UK's gross and net contributions to the EU budget, in sterling, is attributed to spending in the UK on (1) regional aid, (2) agriculture, (3) universities through programmes such as Erasmus, and (4) other areas of domestic spending.

HM Treasury have published the expected sectoral split under the current multiannual financial framework, which can be found on the gov.uk website. This analysis of spending in the UK shows that we expect 7% of receipts to cover rural development and the environment, 44% to cover agriculture and fisheries and 27% to cover research and development.
