The Liberal Democrat peer, Lord Oakeshott, said that if Mr Diamond had any shame, he would resign.
Former City minister Lord Myners told the BBC that the people at the top should take responsibility.
Barclays has said its actions "fell well short of standards".
In response, chief executive Bob Diamond and three other top executives at the bank are to give up their bonuses this year. Full story...
