I would like to make a couple of brief observations. I could labour this point forever. The Minister referred to the EU treaty obligations. I call that what I expect to be told. That figure - the figure we paid last year and the figure we are paying next year - is not in the EU treaty. It is a calculated figure based on the principles in the treaty.
