Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will continue to ensure that the UK does not contribute to the EU bailout package for Greece.

While Greece remains in the euro, its financial stability is the responsibility of the euro area. The Government has secured a deal that protects UK taxpayers from any risk from financing euro area bailouts now and in the future. This deal gives legal force to the commitment secured in 2010 that UK taxpayers would not be drawn into a euro area bailout.
