Analysts are concerned that the Alliance & Leicester could be the next major bank to follow in the Northern Rock crisis.
The A&L is expected to try to protect itself by reducing the value of mortgages on it's book. It has already dropped it's 125% mortgage and it may increase mortgage rates to force some borrowers to move elsewhere.
Analysts are particularly worried about the Alliance & Leicester because it relies on raising money from global money markets.
