Following the Government decision to spend £9.3 million of public money on 23million pro-EU leaflets, Bill Cash has tabled an amendment to the Finance Bill intended to ensure equality in the amount both sides can spend in the referendum campaign.

According to The Daily Telegraph “Between 30 and 50 Tory rebels are considering supporting an amendment tabled by Sir Bill Cash demanding an increase in the amount the Leave campaign can spend ahead of the referendum.” The Mirror also reports “Eurosceptic backbencher Sir Bill Cash has tabled an amendment to the Finance Bill designed to wreck the entire budget amid ongoing fury at the 23million leaflets being posted out by the Government this week.”
