The Asset Protection Agency, accused of forcing RBS to be heavy-handed with business customers, was an arm of HMT and reported to Chancellor of the Exchequer @George_Osborne.

Jack Caouette (APA chair) - Citi
Hamish Buckland - JPMorgan, now CVC chair
Mridul Hegde - HMT, now HSBC
Elizabeth Dymond - PwC, 3i and HMT
Bill Dickinson - ??
Ion Dagtoglou - Goldman Sachs
Stephan Wilcke - Cairn Capital. Apax
