§ Dr. Julian LewisTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what account the Government will take of the results of the Danish referendum in the timing of a possible UK referendum on replacing the pound with the euro. [136256]
§ Mr. VazAs the Prime Minister has said, this decision is a matter for the Danish people and does not change the UK Government's position. We are in favour, in principle, of joining a successful single currency, but in practice the five economic tests must be met. Should Government and Parliament recommend joining, the final decision should be for the British people in a referendum.
