FT survey finds public back construction not the City
Public opinion opposes government bail-outs of banks and insurers, a survey for the FT has found.
- 36% backed state aid for banks
- 20% supported bailouts for insurers.
- 40% backed support for car makers but only 7% strongly supported it compared with 27% strongly opposed.
The only area where a majority of British respondents favoured state intervention was construction.
