The Treasury has just put out details of how its new anti-repossession scheme will work. (The one in which, if you lose your job, the bank will defer part of your interest payments for up to two years.)

UPDATE: The Council of Mortgage Lenders are still lukewarm. “We still need clarification as to what the costs of the scheme may be for lenders.”
