The banks rescue plan - what's in it for you?

Victoria Derbyshire | 09:02 AM, Wednesday, 8 October 2008

Congratulations you will soon be part owners of some of Britain's high street banks. Hold your breath, cross you fingers, say a prayer - that this 50 billion pound rescue package to restore confidence in the markets actually works. That's 1, 610 pounds per british taxpayer.

So what do you think about your money being used to buy shares in British banks? It seems to be the only plan in town - you'll have heard the Tories and Lib Dems agree with the package; will the banks change their ways - what will we get in return for this money? Is the survival of the British banking system enough..that's assuming the plan works.
