* FTSE 100 down 0.1%, FTSE 250 falls 0.2%

Nov 26 (Reuters) - British stocks fell in choppy trading on
Thursday as concerns over a resurgence in coronavirus cases held
gains in check, while investors also maintained a cautious
stance awaiting details on post-lockdown restrictions in
England.
The blue-chip FTSE 100 index .FTSE inched 0.1% lower,
dragged by energy .FTNMX0530 and banking .FTNMX8350 stocks,
while the domestically focussed mid-cap FTSE 250 .FTMC lost
0.2%.
Health secretary Matt Hancock will tell the parliament later
in the day which of three tiers, ranging from the lowest at tier
1 to the highest at 3, each English local authority will fall
under when the national lockdown ends next week. The United Kingdom recorded 18,213 new coronavirus infections
on Wednesday and 696 deaths, its highest daily death figure
since May 5.
In company news, Amigo Holdings Plc AMGO.L tumbled 7.5%
after the subprime lender reported a 36.5% slump in first-half
revenue and flagged "material uncertainty" about its future
operations.
