Proceeding contribution from George Osborne (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 December 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Banking Commission Report.


Banking Commission Report

There is nothing specifically about that in the Vickers report, but the Financial Services Authority has done an investigation into what happened at the Royal Bank of Scotland, and has made specific recommendations on the law regarding bank directors. It turns out that the laws were inadequate to help the authorities to investigate specific individuals at RBS and HBOS, so we are going to look at the recommendation, which came to us only recently, and see whether we can implement it, to ensure that individuals as well as institutions can be held responsible for their actions.
