Isas: UK savers to get freedom to chase better deals as rules change

Shake-up will mean people can pay into more than one Isa of the same type, but experts say 20,000 limit should also rise

The autumn statement documents revealed ministers are making a series of changes to simplify" Isas. As well as giving people more choice, these will reduce the risk of people accidentally breaking the rules. But some commentators argued that the various changes made the system more complicated, not less.
