Something seriously amiss with governance at Co-operative Bank

Andrew Tyrie MP, Chairman of the Treasury Committee, has commented on the publication of Sir Christopher Kelly’s report on the Co-op Bank, ‘Failings in management and governance'.

Chair's comments

The Chairman of the Treasury Committee, Andrew Tyrie MP, said:

"Sir Christopher’s findings are shocking, but not surprising. It was already clear from evidence to the Committee that there was something seriously amiss with governance at the Co-op. Governance matters. Co-op’s six million members have been the losers.

We will be taking more evidence on Co-op governance from Lord Myners next week.”
