The subject of regional banking is of considerable interest just now, and I wonder whether a New Midland Bank (see above) might be the best way forward for Central England, as part of the re-organisation of the regions proposed by the Conservative Party (see below).
East Midlands MP, current Shadow Business Secretary and former Chancellor of the Exchequer Ken Clarke might be a good person to progress such a venture, which would, of course, need to be headquartered in Birmingham.
