Mr Speaker
Order. I appeal to colleagues to ask single, short supplementary questions without preamble, so that we can maximise the number of contributors.

Part of that arrangement was that each country had its own currency and managed its own economy within international rules. Would it not be sensible to move back in that direction by establishing national currencies within the eurozone and starting again where we left off?
