Banks: Regulation

Question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether under the Project Merlin agreement chief executive remuneration will reflect banks' performance against (a) stretch and (b) capacity lending targets.
Answer

The Merlin statement commits the banks to give the expectations, capacity and willingness relating to lending to small and medium sized businesses more weight in the performance metrics of the chief executives of each bank for 2011, as well as the leaders responsible for the relevant business areas, than the SME lending share of each bank's profits might otherwise imply.
