Commons ChamberI can be very clear that the British Government would not allow the loan we are talking about—the loan from Britain—to be used for the eurozone bail-out fund. It is for specific countries, not currencies, as set out in the communiqué.

No, there are no such instances. Every single country that has lent money to the IMF has got its money back.
