Another West Midlands council has said it has money in a bank which has been placed in administration.
Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council, in Staffordshire, has £2.5m in Heritable Bank, which has Iceland bank Landbanski as its parent company.
Landsbanki was taken over by the Icelandic government and declared insolvent on Tuesday.
Nine more West Midlands councils and a police authority have accounts with troubled Icelandic banks.
A spokeswoman for Newcastle-under-Lyme council said the money in Heritable Bank was a small proportion of the authority's investment portfolio.

"We have not been told we have lost that money and are now waiting for news from the administrators, Ernst and Young.
"Council tax levels or service provision will not be affected whatever the outcome of the administration process," she said.

A delegation of Treasury officials is going to Iceland to discuss its banking crisis and the impact on UK individuals and councils with money in its banks.
