EconomyLloyds executive criticises Healey for tying bank tax rises to energy-bill aid
Lloyds CFO William Chalmers criticised Chancellor John Healey’s decision to link higher bank taxes to energy-bill support for UK households.

Lloyds reported quarterly pre-tax profit of £2.3bn, up from £1.2bn a year earlier.
