UK's weekly fee to EU could pay for a new Shropshire hospital, says Shrewsbury MP Daniel Kawczynski
Shrewsbury MP Daniel Kawczynski says the weekly cost of UK fees to the European Union would be enough to pay for a new Shropshire hospital.
Mr Kawczynski, MP for Shrewsbury and Atcham, is campaigning for the United Kingdom to leave the EU, and in an open letter to the Shropshire Star, has urged people to consider alternative uses for the money the country pays as part of membership.
The Conservative said: "In one week of not paying our £350 million fees to EU after Brexit we would have enough to build a new hospital in Shropshire or certainly enough to make both hospitals the best in Europe in terms of equipment and resources.
"Given the extraordinary difficulties and worries people currently have about the reconfiguration of A&E services in Shropshire that is really something to think about in the run up to referendum day."
