Lloyd’s closed it underwriting room in London last night until further notice following a successful stress test earlier in the week. The corporation said it had made the move in line with government advice to avoid all-non-essential contact.

In a statement it said: “We are confident that our emergency trading protocols will enable the market to continue trading during the closure and we will review this decision on a weekly basis. Lloyd’s remains open for business and ready to support our customers globally."
