Gordon Brown and the IMF

Yesterday at Prime Minister's Questions the following was put to the Prime Minister: Q6. [231039] Mr. Andrew Robathan (Blaby) (Con): In 1976, the United Kingdom was humiliated when the last Labour Government had to approach the International Monetary Fund to be bailed out. Should—God forbid —this Labour Government similarly have to go to the IMF for a bail-out, would the Prime Minister resign? As a commentator to the BBC Politics Show pointed out - Prime Ministers Questions may run for half-an-hour from midday on Wednesdays but there is no scheduled time for Prime Minister's Answers - so for this question as for all the others from the opposition benches - no relevant response was forthcoming.
