Treasury to nationalise B&B bank
Troubled bank Bradford & Bingley is to be nationalised, the BBC has learned.
Officials from the Treasury and the Financial Services Authority (FSA) have been in talks with executives from the bank in a bid to secure its future.
BBC News business editor Robert Peston says the Treasury will almost instantaneously sell to a bank, or a number of banks.
The bank will be nationalised using special legislation the Treasury put
through when it took Northern Rock into public ownership earlier this year.
The measure is expected be announced on Sunday night or Monday morning.
