LONDON, July 26 (Reuters) - British Prime Minister David
Cameron pledged on Thursday to do more for the economy after GDP
data released this week showed the economy had contracted more
than expected in the second quarter of 2012.
"We've got to do more. We're going to roll up our sleeves
and do everything possible to get business going in Britain, to
get housing going, to get jobs going," he told the BBC during an
interview at his Number 10 Downing Street residence.
"One of the things (the GDP figures) show is the extent of
damage that was done to the economy in the boom-and-bust years.
We were the ones with the most over-indebted banks, the most
over-indebted households, and we had the biggest budget deficit
of virtually any country in the world. It takes time to recover
from there," he said.
