EU: Financial Management and Fraud (EUC Report)

My Lords, I am grateful to all noble Lords who have spoken in this debate. When I chided the noble Lord, Lord Howard, on his contribution to the Olympic Games debate, it was less about what he had to say about the costs than the fact that the debate was about the legacy of the Games yet he concentrated solely on costs. I thought that I made a fair criticism. This evening I have no criticism of the relevance of his remarks because he has addressed the central issues. I shall disagree with some of his conclusions, but he will expect me to do that.
