Former Barclays CEO 'held back evidence'

The former Barclays bank chief has been criticised by British parliamentarians for giving "highly selective" evidence during a hearing into the Libor rate fixing scandal.

Public trust in the banking industry in the UK is at an all-time low following the manipulation of a key lending rate, according to a parliamentarian committee report.

The report called for urgent action in a number of areas.
