Cameron's debt promise

The Prime Minister shrugged off the gloom of the economic crisis in his closing conference speech today, insisting the British 'can-do' attitude would help get the country back on its feet.

David Cameron brushed aside suggestions the current economic crisis would send the country into decline and said it should be used instead as a time of opportunity.

Speaking to the Conservative conference in Manchester he said: "We can choose to be a country that's back on its feet and striding forward. Paying down our debt and earning a living... Getting people off welfare and into work."

He added: "Let's turn this time of challenge into a time of opportunity. Not sitting around, watching things happen and wondering why. But standing up, making things happen and asking why not. We have the people, we have the ideas, and now we have a Government that's freeing those people, backing those ideas."

His speech comes at a time of falling stock markets and uncertainty over the future of the euro.

Today Mr Cameron pledged Britain would never join the euro - for as long as he was Prime Minister.
