But does the Minister not agree that one of the important pieces of unfinished business is the largely taxpayer-owned £1.5 billion bonus pool in RBS? As the board of directors publicly defied the Government over that matter, do the Government propose to take any further action, either by replacing those directors or by giving them fresh instructions about how to deal with that bonus pool?

Given the excitement over the Governor's comments, yesterday was a very good day to bury bad news. Can the Chancellor explain the comments reported from a Treasury spokesman yesterday? The spokesman said:""The asset protection scheme and the code of practice on taxation for the banking sector are separate issues."" That completely undermined the original terms of that arrangement, which required the full disclosure of all tax opinions. It suggested that the private banks had now won their battle to obtain support from the taxpayer under the asset protection scheme while continuing arrangements of large-scale tax avoidance at the expense of the British Government and maintaining intact their tax avoidance departments.

Is it not becoming increasingly clear to the Chancellor that the ferocious resistance of the management of these banks to the Government's full takeover of them, albeit on a temporary basis, is motivated by a desire to protect bonuses and salaries, to resist write-downs and loss declarations and to protect cynical tax avoidance schemes? When will the Government avoid this farcical and completely ineffective arm's length management arrangement?
