Lloyds will buy Scottish Widows

Lloyds TSB Group PLC acknowledged that it is planning to purchase Scottish Widows Fund & Life Assurance Co. The deal gives Scottish Widows a value of 7 billion pound sterling. The move will form the second-largest life insurance, pension, and mutual fund provider in Great Britain. There were concerns that the deal would lead to a price war. However, analysts believe the acquisition could also strengthen the sector.
