Proposals from the Financial Services Authority, the City watchdog, include plans to limit riskier types of lending by building societies. These could include high loan-to-value mortgages for borrowers with small deposits and buy-to-let mortgages.

If the FSA are going to impose stricter rules then it should include the banks, they are the ones we have had to bail out.
