£35K protection on Offset mortgages?

Hi,
Does anyone know if the £35K protection applies to offset mortgages such as The One Account?
For example if you take out a £100K mortgage with them and put £40K worth of savings into it (remember, you still have access to this money) and the bank collapses, are you left with a net debt of £60K? Or does the protection scheme only guarantee the first £35K, so you are actually left with a larger mortgage than you expect?
I believe the Virgin One Account is owned and run by RBS.
Thanks!
