Halifax and Bank of Scotland - count as one institution?

For the FSA £50k guarantee, do they count as one - as suggested on Matrin's table below - or are they separate as was suggested on one thread?

They are the same colour (and not white!!).

One institution, along with Birmingham Midshires, AA, Saga etc.

Martin is right.

Got a link to the other thread?

I think you'll find the government currently owns less than 1% of HBOS.

There is a plan to own more, but this has not been implemented yet. Pedantic, maybe!

They are all authorised for deposits under the Bank of Scotland FSA registration.
