Commenting on the announcement that the Lloyds TSB Foundation is starting legal proceedings against Lloyds Banking Group, Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Tavish Scott MSP said:

“I cannot believe the way in which Lloyds Banking Group is behaving.

“The Lloyds Banking Group needs to come clean about their intentions.

“If they don't want to fund charity and voluntary work around Scotland they should say so.

“This is turning into an unedifying spectacle and should come to an end.”
