Proceeding contribution from Lord Cameron of Chipping Norton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 31 January 2012. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Informal European Council.

Informal European Council

The Chancellor said that we are founder members of the IMF and strong supporters of it as an institution, but that the IMF must always lend to countries, not currencies; that we would not be part of an EU bail-out fund; that we would take part only if other countries came forward too; and that that would happen only after eurozone countries and eurozone institutions had done what they needed to do to stand up and support their currency. That is the position, and I think that it is right.
