To ask the Prime Minister if he will make a statement on discussions relating to the Single Currency during his recent visit to Japan separately identifying discussions between industrialists. [32988]

The Prime Minister

I discussed the United Kingdom's policy towards Europe and the Single Currency with a large number of business leaders and politicians during my recent visit to Japan, including during a dinner on 9 January at which I gave a speech to over 300 representatives of Japanese Government and industry. I also set out the EU's approach to the Single Currency at the EU/Japan summit on 12 January.
