Brown sees need to look at "irresponsible" City actions

LONDON (Reuters) - Prime Minister Gordon Brown said on Thursday there was a need to look at "irresponsible behaviour" in financial markets following the global crisis that has seen banks collapse.

"I think we've got to look at where there has been irresponsible behaviour and I've said for some time that we need reforms in the system," he said in remarks carried on TV networks.

"I believe there is now an audience that agrees with me that we should do more. We've got to clean up the financial system. We don't want these problems recurring in the future."
