Speaking at a Morrisons distribution centre in Kent, the Chancellor said: “The truth is we are absolutely wrestling with that issue at the moment and trying to find a way that is legal to make sure that benefits do not go to the continent of Europe. The European Union rules are pretty tough and we can’t act illegally because someone would just go to a court and get it overturned. But we are looking at all sorts of ways to make sure that British taxpayers pay for benefits that are paid in this country rather than abroad.”
