William Hague has raised doubts about the future of the euro, saying it was impossible to know whether the currency would collapse.
The Foreign Secretary, a vociferous and long-standing critic of European monetary union, said he “hoped” that the euro would survive, but added: “Who knows?”
His comments came as talks continued about the possible need to bail out debt-ridden Ireland, the latest crisis-hit eurozone member.
Asked whether the euro could collapse, Mr Hague told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “Well I hope not.
“No-one has pointed out more of the problems than I have over the years in having a currency where we lock together the exchange rates and interest rates of countries with different economies.
