Proceeding contribution from Bernard Jenkin (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 December 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.


European Council

May I say that I agree with the hon. Member for Birmingham, Edgbaston (Ms Stuart): it is extraordinary that we did not have a pre-Council debate? I also wish to press my right hon. Friend on the question raised by my hon. Friend the Member for West Worcestershire (Harriett Baldwin). The Prime Minister said that we will not have liability for the eurozone after 2013, and we very much hope that that is correct. However, the European stabilisation mechanism seems to be an open-ended liability. On 22 November, the Chancellor said:"““we would certainly not be in favour of somehow replenishing it””.—[Official Report, 22 November 2010; Vol. 519, c. 43.]" Are we going to refuse to replenish the European stabilisation mechanism while it continues to exist?
