In a recent interview on LBC 97.3 radio, the PM said...

"Whatever it takes, money will not be the object

"We are a wealthy country, we have a growing economy. If money is needed for clean-up, money will be made available. If money is needed to help households get back on their feet, that money will be made available.

"Money is not an object. There's no 'either/or' here. It's not either protecting our overseas aid budget or spending the money here at home. What we need at home will be spent here at home.

"As prime minister, I will absolutely guarantee that that will be done. I've spoken to the chancellor about this.

"Yes of course there are financial constraints, yes of course we still have a big budget deficit but we are a wealthy country, we have a growing economy, we've looked after our nation's finances carefully. This is an emergency for our country and we will spend the money where the money is needed."
