Each week, we round-up the best comments, emails and letters to the site and pick one reader contribution as our Star Letter. This week’s award goes to:

Industry needs to promote itself better; £10bn more lending through brokers – panel

Ben and Grenville are right but it is fair to say that I and many others have been saying this for at least 10 years and little has improved.

Good luck gentlemen.
