PM warns Hollande over tax plan | The Top News | Only Top News of the Day: "The meeting came ahead of a meeting of G8 leaders at Camp David, Maryland
UK PM David Cameron has warned French President Francois Hollande that Britain will not accept a Europe-wide tax on financial transactions.
Speaking in Washington ahead of their first meeting since Mr Hollande’s election earlier this month, Mr Cameron said it was not a “sensible measure”.
The transaction tax was a key part of Mr Hollande’s election campaign.

Downing Street played down suggestions of a rift between the two leaders, who met ahead of the G8 summit in the US.
It said the talks were “not awkward” despite Mr Cameron’s backing for Mr Hollande’s opponent in the French presidential election."
