The Prime Minister
My hon. Friend makes a very important point. As he knows, we have been pushing the Pakistan Government to amend the blasphemy laws, and I will be speaking to the Prime Minister tomorrow.
Mr Speaker
If the hon. Gentleman was in the Chamber at the start of the statement, I will call him, but if he was not, I will not.
Mr Cunningham
Is the Prime Minister prepared to compromise over the rebate, because so far he has made no statement to rule that out?
The Prime Minister
I hate to say it, but had the hon. Gentleman been here throughout, he would have heard my answer, which is this. Paying a little bit more or a little bit less because of a normal annual adjustment is one thing; €2 billion is quite another.
