George Osborne: Brown's government were 'clearly involved' in Barclays scandal

Members of Gordon Brown's government were "clearly involved" in the scandal of Barclays' manipulation of its Libor rate, Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne has claimed.

In an interview for tomorrow's edition of The Spectator, Mr Osborne said:

"As for the role of the Labour government and the people around Gordon Brown - well I think there are questions to be asked of them."

He added:

"They were clearly involved and we just haven't heard the full facts, I don't think, of who knew what when."
