The Prime Minister
I will look carefully at what the hon. Gentleman says. My memory of the CAP deal—the finance deal and its consequences—is that we actually gave the devolved Administrations a huge amount of leeway to determine the right way to spend their money. I think farmers actually benefit from the way in which this is done, but I will look carefully at the point he makes.
Jeremy Lefroy (Stafford) (Con)
May I thank the Prime Minister for all his work on behalf of our country over the past weeks, months and, indeed, years?
Exports to China from Germany, France and the UK have all shown significant increases. Does that not that show that the opportunities for trade outside the EU are not, as some would have it, constrained by membership of the EU?
The Prime Minister
My hon. Friend is absolutely right. You do not expand your trade with China by doing less trade with the EU. We want to do both.
