Lawrence Tomlinson responds to RBS/Treasury Select Committee exchange on ‘inaccurate’ evidence.

" It’s extremely disappointing that once again RBS has not taken an open and honest approach to dealing with very serious allegations. The misleading nature of the evidence provided by RBS executives Derek Sach and Chris Sullivan makes a mockery of both the Parliamentary process and of the SMEs who have suffered as a result of the banks’ actions. Once again, we are left to question whether this is incompetence on behalf of the bank or intentional distortion of the facts. Either way, when we have paid such a high price to save the bank, and to remunerate the highest quality staff, it is beyond unacceptable that this behaviour should continue. Mr Sullivan even reportedly received a £470,000 bonus shortly after his appearance in front of the Committee"

The bank is still too big to fail and in turn, too big to control – it’s time for decisive action to create smaller, more manageable banks who have to compete for clients to stop the perverse incentives that have prevailed amongst the biggest banks.
