Originally published by Scottish Liberal Democrats

Commenting on the Prime Minister's dismissal of rival bids to the Lloyds TSB takeover of HBOS, Tavish Scott, leader of the Liberal Democrats in Scotland said:

"My deep concern is that the Prime Minister is pulling every string to stop any other rival bid. Journalists are being briefed, names are being released, bids are being discouraged.

"Vince Cable and I asked for a level playing field. There is no such thing from the UK Government."
