Autism is a very serious condition.

I find China such a fascinating and interesting country. Each time I come back something has changed and it's moved on in leaps and bounds.

If we don't get a grip on government spending, there will be no growth.

Just as it wouldn't be right to only to have an economic dialogue with China, equally you shouldn't restrict your dialogue solely to issues around, say, human rights. You can raise all those issues, and that is what reflects a mature discussion. So I don't think essentially we have to choose between being partners in China's economic development and being proud defenders of British values.

We have to be pretty tough with mortgage companies and say you have got to give people the chance to work out their debts, sort out future mortgages.

I understand the damage the expenses crisis has done to Parliament, and the paramount importance of restoring trust in our politics.

I'm fed up with Britain being condemned to this future where we borrow the Chinese in order to buy from the Chinese the things that they make for us.
