Alliance & Leicester’s fixed rate bond is a sell out

Due to the high demand for Alliance & Leicester's recently launched 6.60% Fixed Rate Bond, this product will be withdrawn from sale at close of business today, 22 October 2008.

Martin Leake, Savings Manager at Alliance & Leicester commented: "With a rate as good as 6.60%, it's not surprising that this new bond has been so popular. Unfortunately, the bond was a short term offer with limited funds and it has now been withdrawn."

A new Fixed Rate Bond, paying 6.00%, will be available for customers investing new money and Alliance & Leicester maturing Fixed Rate Bonds, with effect from 23 October 2008.
