Financial Times: Prime minister, the G20 is coming up in Pittsburgh [September 24 and 25]. In London you co-ordinated an international fiscal stimulus, which has had some success. So what do you want to see coming out of Pittsburgh?

Gordon Brown: Well, there’s definitely been an improvement since April against what people forecast and, as far as the British economy is concerned, I would say that we are cautious but we’re cautiously optimistic about the future.
