Germany is growing increasingly concerned at the rise of euro-skepticism in the U.K., a leading party ally of Chancellor Angela Merkel said.
David McAllister, the West Berlin-born prime minister of Lower Saxony state who holds German and British passports, made his comments less than 24 hours before U.K. Foreign Secretary William Hague said disaffection in Britain with the European Union is at its highest level. Hague used a trip to Germany yesterday to warn that the U.K. government is ready to veto the EU budget next month.
