David Cameron, prime minister, insisted on Thursday that it would be “quite wrong” for Britain to give any further financial help to Greece, in spite of pressure from other European capitals.
Donald Tusk, Poland’s prime minister, said ahead of a European Union summit that non-euro countries – including Britain – should help in a further Greek bail-out, while Germany also has concerns about Mr Cameron’s position.
German law stipulates that if Berlin joins a new eurozone bail-out of Greece, the operation should also include the use of an EU-wide stability fund administered by the European Commission.
Mr Cameron has made it clear that he would resist such a move – which could leave Britain on the hook for about €1bn (£890m) – and insisted that any British help for Greece should only be through the International Monetary Fund.
