the blame for the mistreatment of small businesses in the lender's controversial restructuring unit, grgutives who ran that department. ross mcewan was giving evidence to a treasury committee hearing into the bank's behaviour around the time of the financial crash in 2008. i think it has to be the executive operation that takes the accountability. how many people are being subjected to this? we have a number of people whose pay and long—term pay has been suspended as these reviews go on and if it does get reviewed as well. earlier, tony boorman, from the consultancy firm which was commissioned to write a report on the unit, told mps grg staff were focused on the financial returns to the bank. they held themself out to its customers and objectives financial objective for the bank, we did not argue that that was not a reasonable thing for improvisation. but also one in which it emphasised assisting customers, helping to turn them around, to determine relationships. in practise, what we found in set out in our report, was that the focus was entirely on the commercial, almost entirely on the

since 2008, we know that 16,000 small businesses were put into the grg and the vast majority of themiquidated. they were trying to get back into a position as a viable business. it was more like an abattoir than an intensive care unit. customers had been carved up like a sunday roast, he said. we know that many of the businesses never made it back to mainstream banking. this is a very high proportion. the cost of this is immeasurable, but we believe it to be in the tens of billions. let's be clear, this is the potential size of the injustice that has taken place in our country. if it is this big, it may be the largest theft anywhere, ever. many of our constituents who suffered in their business interests and personal lives will need this enquiry and we need justice for our constituents. the treasury committee is investigating the claims against rbs. when i hear constituents say that they will never trust a bank again, they will never ask a bank again for money, this should be a chilling moment for all banks involved in working with smes. they forced one company into receivership. the
