"New data showing persistently low levels of bank lending have prompted a tirade of anger at the sector and the government.

Research published today by the Institute of Directors (IoD) shows nearly 60% of businesses seeking bank finance in 2009/10 were rejected by their bank, and that 20% are financing their business to at least some extent with a credit card.

The figures corroborate a damning public accounts committee report last week which concluded the Treasury does not know why state-owned banks are still not lending and has few resources it can use to force them to do so. "

No appropriate accountability. No punishment. Massive profits (see Barclays today). Disgraceful bonuses. No appropriate levels of lending.
