More job losses at Lloyds

Part-nationalised British bank Lloyds said today that it would axe another 650 jobs and shut a site in Nottingham as part of a raft of changes.

The bank also revealed plans to close a 265-strong network of Halifax-branded counters based within firms such as solicitors and estate agencies in a move expected to hit a further swathe of workers, although not directly employed by Lloyds.
