LONDON, March 12 (Reuters) - British finance minister Jeremy Hunt said on Sunday the government was working urgently to come forward with short and longer-term solutions to address problems in Britain caused by the collapse of U.S. bank Silicon Valley Bank. "We've been working in pace over the weekend, through the night," Hunt told Sky News. "We will bring forward very soon plans to make sure people are able to meet their cashflow requirements to pay their staff, but obviously what we want to do is to find a longer-term solution that minimises, or even avoids completely, losses to some of our most promising companies."
