Commenting on reports that RBS Directors may resign if the Chancellor of the Exchequer were to block £1.5bn in banker's bonuses, Liberal Democrats Shadow Chancellor, Vince Cable said:
"I would welcome their resignations, as the bank cannot hold the taxpayer to ransom.
"As a state run bank, the Government must finally take control and ensure that both its pay and lending practices are in the public interest."
