David Cameron said he is ready to crack down on immigration from struggling countries, such as Greece, if the eurozone goes into meltdown. The Prime Minister said contingency plans were in place and he would do “whatever it takes” to protect the UK.

The comments, in evidence to the influential Commons liaison committee, came with fears still running high over the future of the currency union.
