The outgoing Bank of England governor Sir Mervyn King has warned against "demonising" bankers over the financial crash, arguing there was a failure in the system. He also said that the government's Help to Buy scheme must not become permanent.
Sir Mervyn's concerns about Help to Buy echo those of the Treasury Select Committee, which reported on the Budget last month.
The committee warned the Government will come under "immense" pressure to extend Help to Buy in three years time.
Under the equity loan new or existing homeowners will need to raise a deposit of 5% of the value of the property they want to buy, but can borrow up to a further 20% from the Government on an interest-free basis.
The biggest loan available will be £120,000.
