Question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer with reference to paragraph 3.5 of Project Merlin-Banks' Statement, whether a banking institution may be released from its obligations under the agreement if it is deemed necessary by its board.
Answer

As a result of the Government's discussions, the four largest UK banks have committed that the total remuneration paid in 2010 will be lower than it was in 2009 and lower than it would have been otherwise. The Remuneration Committee chair of each bank will write to the FSA to confirm that this commitment has been met.
