Royal Bank of Scotland and Lloyds announce break-up plans

Break-up plans for part-nationalised Royal Bank of Scotland and Lloyds Banking Group to appease European competition fears have been confirmed.

RBS is selling RBS-branded branches in England and Wales, its NatWest branches in Scotland, the Churchill and Direct Line insurance arm and parts of its investment banking business as the price of state support.
