Eurozone Financial Assistance

Debate between Lord Lilley and Michael Connarty

Tuesday 24th May 2011 Commons Chamber

[Michael Connarty]

I will give way in a moment.

Everything I am discussing is the consequence of the things that the Governments of these countries did; this was not about the EU being in existence and not about their being members of the eurozone. These things were done by those Governments. The offer is that the IMF, the World Bank and the eurozone countries, mainly, will bail out those countries.

[Mr Peter Lilley (Hitchin and Harpenden) (Con)]
