SIR – I hope the people of Yorkshire take the trouble to find out how their MP voted in the debate over demands for a cut in the EU budget.

I am obviously delighted that the House voted with the country, rather than the Government whips.

I personally believe we should be looking at a cut of 100 per cent of our payments to Brussels, but at least this was a small step in that direction.

But let me point out that 12 Conservative and three Lib Dem Yorkshire MPs voted to stick with Cameron’s plan and not for the real interests of this country. I hope residents check out how their MP voted and bear that in mind when the elections come round.
