NatWest boss Dame Alison Rose has admitted she made a “serious error of judgement” when she discussed Nigel Farage’s Coutts bank accounts with the BBC business editor Simon Jack.
Last week Dame Rose apologised to the former UKIP leader for the closure of his accounts and ordered an immediate review of the processes followed by its Coutts subsidiary.
The NatWest board has said it retains full confidence in Ms Rose as chief executive of the bank.
