Investment bank to be paid £850,000 to provide advice on transferring RBS's troubled assets into a bad bank
Investment bankers at Rothschild are to be paid £850,000 for conducting a review, commissioned by the chancellor, into whether Royal Bank of Scotland should be split into a good and bad bank.
George Osborne announced the review in his Mansion House speechand said he wanted the work to be completed by autumn. RBS, 81%-owned by the taxpayer, is expected to pick up the bill.
John Kingman, second permanent secretary at the Treasury, recused himself from the selection process as he was global co-head of financial institutions at Rothschild until September.

The outgoing UKFI chief executive, Jim O'Neil, also recused himself from the selection process as he prepared to move to Bank of America Merrill Lynch this year.
Rothschild is to provide advice on transferring RBS's troubled assets into a bad bank – but the remit does not extend to a wider analysis of breaking up RBS along any other lines.
Slaughter & May, the law firm involved in the 2008 bank bailouts, has been tasked with advising the government on the possible creation of a bad bank.
