Meanwhile, rumblings on the Tory back benches.

John Redwood, another senior Conservative eurosceptic, said he thought the   majority of the Tory backbenches would vote against handing more British   money to the IMF.
"We fully support the chancellor when he says he does not want extra IMF   money to be given to prop up a currency," said Mr Redwood.
"I am happy for IMF money to go and help poor African countries - not to   bailout broke but rich Western economies. Greece is no longer a sovereign   country. It is a region in a currency union. 
"The IMF would not bailout California. On the same premiss it should not give   more money to save parts of euroland."
