UK warned again about possible credit rating downgrade

BBC News - UK warned again about possible credit rating downgrade

The Fitch credit ratings agency has joined Moody's and put the UK's top AAA rating on "negative outlook".

Fitch Ratings warned on Wednesday that it could downgrade the UK in the next few years if the government does not contain the level of public debt.

The warning comes as Chancellor George Osborne puts the finishing touches to this year's Budget, which will be delivered next week.
