Savers hit hard by base rate cut

People will savings accounts are set to be hit hard after the Bank of England's decision to cut the base rate of interest by a huge 1.5%.

As the UK toils against spiralling debts, the BoE took the decision to help those struggling with mortgage repayments in a bid to reduce bankruptcies and repossessions. 

However, people who have savings accounts will get much less interest on their money each month, which is sure to upset a large group of people.
