British Foreign Secretary Johnson was criticized by government officials and statisticians on the weekend that he would be able to save ? 350 million ($ 476 million) a week after returning to Europe.
This figure was once the core of the slogan of Johnson and the European camp, "Let us regain control", and they also said that the money could be used for national health insurance. But after they won the referendum in Europe, this commitment was quickly abandoned by other well-known retreat.
David Norgrove of the British Bureau of Statistics said he was "surprised and disappointed" that Johnson was still citing the confusion between the gross and the net.
"This is obviously a misuse of official statistics," Norgrove said in a letter to Johnson on Sunday.
He said that the quoted figures did not include a refund from the UK from the EU, nor did it include funding for the EU to support British agriculture and research.
Johnson again mentioned this figure in a Saturday newspaper article, which expounded his vision of Britain's retreat to Europe. Johnson was one of the most impressive politicians in Britain, with a messy blonde and unobtrusive.
British National Bureau of Statistics released in April 2016 data show that the British weekly net contribution to the EU about 190 million pounds.
