In British politics, independent commissions are often a diversion that allows governments to be seen to be doing something about a difficult issue. Sometimes their findings are respectfully ignored. So it was a mild surprise when on June 15th, three months before the Independent Commission on Banking (ICB) is due to release its final report, George Osborne, the chancellor of the exchequer, told the City's annual Mansion House dinner that he would endorse the commission's main findings. The ICB's most radical idea is to force British banks to ring-fence their retail-banking arms into separately capitalised subsidiaries, which can then be salvaged if the rest of the bank goes bust. The ICB's other headline proposal is that large British banks should have to hold bigger buffers against losses than currently proposed under Basel 3, a new international agreement on minimum capital requirements.
