Payday loans costs will be capped under plans being announced by Chancellor George Osborne. Regulator the Financial Conduct Authority will set the level of the cap, which will cover fees charged on the loans as well as interest.

Speaking on BBC Breakfast, he said he supported the action being taken to cap charges, but added that it had to be "very, very carefully done".
