FSCS levies set: brokers stung by higher than expected £61m
The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) has set the 2010/11 general levy at £148m with brokers being hit by more than £60m of that.

Together with investment and PPI claims, the other main area of claims costs for 2010/11 is general insurance. The General Insurance Provision sub-class will pay a levy
