In answer to Lord Stoddart's
Written QuestionTo ask Her Majesty's Government whether they will take steps to ensure any decisions regarding further bail-outs for the Greek economy are not made using qualified majority voting.
HMG in the person of Lord Sassoon said:
The Government have been clear that the UK should not participate in a new financial assistance package for Greece. At the European Council on 24 June 2011, the Prime Minister secured explicit assurance that a new programme for Greece would be supported by its euro area partners and the IMF, not the European Union as a whole.
We shall see about the EU as a whole but the IMF does, let us not forget, include this country as well.
