Increase the Financial Services Compensation Scheme limit to at least £100,000.

But there are many who do have over £35,000 in banks, Sonia, & over that amount it isn't protected.

One example is those who have sold their property & gone into rental accomodation whilst looking for another suitable property. Another example is where someone has just received a sizeable lump sum from their works pension scheme but hasn't yet decided exactly where to put it for the best, to provide for life ahead, which is our situation currently. You shouldn't have to create many bank accounts to ensure you only put up to £35,000 in each. It's certainly not the super-rich who have need for this security.

This Friday on ITV1 on the Tonight programme at 8pm (UK time), the topic is "Are your savings safe" so we, for two, will be watching.
