During Prime Minister's Question Time, Geoffrey Clifton-Brown backs the PM's support for the Irish economy as being far less damaging than any alternative.
Geoffrey Clifton-Brown (The Cotswolds) (Con): Does my right hon. Friend agree that a proper and well planned international rescue plan for the Irish economy would be far less damaging to the wider economy of this country than some of the possible dire alternatives?
The Prime Minister: My hon. Friend makes a very good point. Every man, woman and child in Ireland spends more than £3,000 each year on British goods and services. Our economies are very intertwined-very interlinked-and it is right that we take part in helping to ensure stability and growth in the Irish economy.
