My Lords, is it not becoming rather ridiculous that we still have not had a debate on the crisis in the eurozone? Perhaps the expression "fiddling while Rome burns" would be appropriate in this context. The usual debate on the Chancellor's normal Statement is not really a substitute for a debate on the crisis in the eurozone. We need to debate both.
