In complete contrast to the cuts outlined in the UK Government's spending review being debated in Parliament today, MEPs in the European Parliament have voted to increase the EU budget for 2011 by 5.9%.
MEPs' demands will increase the UK contribution to the EU budget by approximately £840m compared to the cash freeze (at 2010 levels) demanded by the UK Government.
In a separate vote, MEPs have voted to extend European Commission proposals on maternity leave, increasing costs to the UK Government and businesses by £2.5bn a year.
