It was an incorrect figure and they were told it was incorrect by official bodies but failed to change it. The objective in stating an incorrect figure was to move the debate onto the fact that we pay for membership and not the loss of jobs that will come when EU bodies like the medicines and banking regulators move outside the UK and service companies relocate staff.
