I want Britain to be a global financial centre but I want it to be properly regulated.

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.

No other chancellor in the long history of the office has felt the need to pass a law in order to convince people he has the political will to implement his own Budget.

We need a coalition in this country. A coalition of change. People who have had enough of this.

I want Britain to be the home of successful competitive and stable financial services.

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.

There are those people who don't want change. Well there needs to be a coalition for change amongst the hard-working mainstream majority of the country to crack on and sort out Britain's problems.
