Proceeding contribution from Bill Esterson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 27 June 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.


European Council

The Prime Minister said that the IMF would not have made the loan to Greece if it did not think it could be repaid. The Governor of the Bank of England seems to disagree about the likelihood of that loan being repaid. I think that what the people of this country want to know is how much British taxpayers will be liable for if Greece defaults.
