The Pound-Euro debate
The question of if Britain will take the Euro has been one that has been circulating since the Euro was first introduced. While there is not yet an answer, one thing that can be certain is that if the country does decide to adopt the Euro it will only happen after a lengthy and detailed discussion of the matter. According to former Chancellor Gordon Brown there are five tests that will have to be met before the UK will consider adopting the Euro in order to make sure that business will be conducted within Britain closer to the way that it is conducted within the rest of Europe to make sure that the assimilation is smooth.
