"The government is to take a majority stake in the recently-created Lloyds Banking Group, the BBC has learned.

Under an agreement with the Treasury, the government's stake will increase from 43% to between 60% and 65%.

Some £260bn of toxic loans will be insured, and Lloyds will be required to lend more to households and companies"
