Stephen Metcalfe MP speaks
out against ‘ridiculous’ European Union charges
Local MP Stephen
Metcalfe has today spoken out against the recent €2bn bill levied against the
United Kingdom by the EU, slamming it as ‘ridiculous’.
Stephen
Metcalfe’s comments follow a recent demand from the European Union, that
Britain increases its financial contribution by a December 1 deadline.
Stephen
Metcalfe said: “I am glad to see the Prime Minister echoing the sentiments of
the British people on these ridiculous European Union charges.”
“We must
continue to speak out against this kind of appalling behaviour on the EU’s part
and I will be calling on the Government to refuse to pay this absurd bill.”
“Clearly
with the promise of a referendum, the Conservatives are the only party
committed to bringing our relationship with the European Union under new terms,
standing up for British interests, and giving real choice to the British
people.”
