Reacting to the announcement of a cut in the European Union Budget, Matthew Sinclair, Chief Executive of the TaxPayers’ Alliance (TPA), said:
“It is completely unacceptable that while hard pressed families struggle to make ends meet, Britain’s contributions to a dysfunctional EU will increase.
“David Cameron has done well to help secure the first ever cut in the EU Budget, but with a reduced rebate, the final deal is anything but good for British taxpayers.
“Any moves by the President of the European Parliament to reject this modest budget cut via secret ballot would be a disgrace and would expose yet again a huge democratic deficit in Brussels.”
