EURO REPORT: LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE NOW - TAYLOR

12.33.37pm UTC (GMT +0000) Thu 15th May 2003

Matthew Taylor MP, Liberal Democrat Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer

Matthew Taylor MP, Liberal Democrat Shadow Chancellor, responding to the news that the Government is to announce to the House of Commons its decision on whether the UK should join the Euro on June 9th, said:

"In 1997 the Chancellor said that the time of indecision was over. Indecision is all the Labour Government has offered ever since."

"The Chancellor and Prime Minister are clearly at loggerheads, deeply divided over the Euro, and are leaving it to the last possible moment to make an announcement of ever more indecision. "If the decision is meant to be based on the facts rather than the personal opinions of the Prime Minister and Chancellor, why don't they publish the report and let the British people decide?"
