Enquiry into banks’ failures is vital or nothing will change
20 December 2010
The Wikileaks report last week (Mortgage Strategy Online) revealing the Royal Bank of Scotland’s chairman Sir Phillip Hampton thought directors at the bank had breached their fiduciary duties was a real eye opener.

The regulator has proven to be untouchable and by having an enquiry we can determine what went wrong from all sides.PATRICK BAMFORD
