Government sells shares in Lloyds
A £3.21 billion chunk of taxpayer-backed Lloyds Banking Group has been sold by the Government as it begins the process of returning the bank to private hands.
The stock was snapped up by institutional investors at a price of 75p per share, only a small discount to last night's closing price on the FTSE 100 of 77.36p.
