Cameron had “slightly increased the danger” of Britain leaving the EU by creating a “markedly more Euroskeptic government,” said Charles Grant, director of the Centre for European Reform think tank in London. He said Hammond was “a couple of notches more Euroskeptic than Hague” and pointed out the new minister’s comment in May 2013 that if a referendum were held then he would vote to leave the EU.

“In his favor he is a rational man ... he is not a romantic or crazed eurosceptic,” Grant told AFP.
