The Guardian - 07/05/12

Reforming the banking sector is expected to be a key theme of chancellor George Osborne's Mansion House speech next month as the government reaffirms its intention to force banks to erect ring fences around their high street operations.

Osborne is likely to publish the long-awaited white paper on the Independent Commission on Banking's (ICB) proposals on the same day – 14 June – in a battle against time to fulfil his promise to legislate for the proposed overhaul during this parliament.
