Not all that long ago one of the most pressing concerns for many savers was the safety of their money - and no wonder following the run on Northern Rock and the collapse of Icesave.

But does government protection still matter to you - are you concerned about the safety of banks and building societies, or does the fact that no saver has lost out mean it's a non-issue?

What about Northern Rock savers - will the removal of the government's 100% guarantee in May mean you're planning to find a new home for your money?

And will you choose a new provider based on its level of protection (for example, NS&I) or on rate?
