As was the case with previous Administrations, it is not the Treasury's practice to provide details of all such discussions.</p><p> </p><p>The Government’s shareholding in the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) is managed at arm’s length from Government by UK Financial Investments (UKFI). UKFI is responsible for managing the shareholding on a wholly commercial basis, in a way that creates and protects value for the taxpayer. UKFI is not responsible, for managing the bank itself; RBS retains its own board for strategic and management decisions. Decisions on overdraft fees are solely within the remit of the bank.</p><p> </p><p>The Government supports the work the Financial Conduct Authority is carrying out on high-cost credit, including overdrafts, and will continue to work with them to ensure that all consumers who use high-cost credit products are treated fairly.</p> answering member constituency North East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Stephen Barclay grouped question UIN 7848 question first answered 12/09/2017 10:38:46 answering member 4095 label Biography information for Steve Barclay
