NatWest and RBS announced that its Standard Variable Rate mortgages will be cut by 1.50 per cent from 6.69 per cent to 5.19 per cent.
The reduction follows a review following the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) decision to cut rates by 1.50 per cent on Thursday and Friday's movement in LIBOR.
