British Foreign Minister Boris Johnson said today that the 350 million pounds, which the Brexit campaign said Britain sends to the European Union (EU) every week, is far less than the real amount. In an interview with the Guardian, Johnson said that a much larger amount could have been used in the campaign to leave the Union. On the bus that Brexit supporters used to tour Great Britain, it was pointed out that London sends 350 million pounds to Brussels every week. "There was an error written on the bus. We underestimated the amount of money we would have," Johnson said. Supporters of remaining in the Union argued that it is incorrect that Great Britain sends 350 million pounds to Brussels every week, because the amount that London receives from the EU through subsidies and funds is not included. Johnson, however, said today that the UK's weekly gross contribution to the Union would rise to £438m by the end of the transition period. He added that those who were in favor of leaving the EU were right when they claimed that the excess money received should go to the British National Health Service (NHS). Opponents of Brexit argued that it was unrealistic that the money now going to the Union could have been given to health. "When the money becomes available - and that won't happen until we leave (the EU) - the NHS should be at the top of the list," Johnson said. Great Britain should leave the membership in March 2019, i.e. two years after Prime Minister Theresa May initiated the exit procedure.
