Bank of England governor Sir Mervyn King has launched a stinging attack on British banks and called for a "real change in culture" as lenders became further embroiled in controversy.

Sir Mervyn said there was no need for a Leveson-style inquiry, but admitted "something went very wrong with the UK banking industry and we need to put it right".
