How the Greek crisis is making your Sunday lunch cheaperUK lamb prices are down by almost a quarter over the last year as the euro suffers under the weight of the political situation in Greece British lamb producers sold a kilogram of lamb for £3.50 this week, which is down from £4.11 a month ago and is more than a pound less than the same week last year. While the euro's depreciation is good news for British holiday makers heading to the continent, it has made UK exports to the currency bloc more expensive and therefore knocked demand from European buyers, meaning that prices have fallen here at home.This pressure on prices is particularly pronounced in the lamb market, as the UK is largest producer of lamb in Europe, and Europe is the UK's most important market, accounting for more than 80pc of its lamb exports in April.

Today in the Commons, he's come out against his European partners and in support of the IMFThe PM told MPs that he agrees with the IMF that Greece needs debt relief.From Steven Swinford at PMQs: "Mr Cameron said that if Greece does leave the eurozone, Britain should provide humanitarian assistance.He said: "We all feel for the Greek people who have had a very difficult time and with no early signs of relief on the way. We talk to the IMF on a very regular basis. The point they are making that there needs to be debt relief for Greece must be right. Frankly it is in our interests for the Eurozone to resolve these issues. They need to resolve these issues and they need to resolve them quite fast."Greece is a member of the EU as well as a member of the euro. It is a friend and ally of Britain. As a member of the EU, if Greece were to leave the euro and wanted humanitarian assistance I'm sure the British public would take a generous view."
