    I thought government/bank of England had decided that they would keep the wraps on any bank in trouble - to stop the massive panic which would bound to ensue.

    Did you leave Nationwide BS out of the list because it is not a "bank" or because you think it is obscure ?

    It isnt a clearing bank. or a retail bank for that matter.

    Well, actually there are 12 members of the group - according to this :

    Natwest and Royal Bank of Scotland are still listed as separate entities - in line with their separate FSA registrations. Does anyone know if this is likely to change (a la HBOS) in the future? (I know we have some employees of these banks on the forum.)
