Treasury C'ttee
I've sent a question to the Treasury C'ttee, the gist of which is:
"World's Biggest Bank Robbery"
KSFIoM deposited some 600 million pounds with KSFUK. This ,along with other deposits was seized by HMG it was reported "in order to protect depositors"and as a result KSFIoM was forced to close its doors. Will HMG return this money to the IoM so that we depositors in KSFIoM can get on with our normal lives, and if so when ?

Reply from Treasury Committee

22 October 2008: For Immediate Release
TREASURY COMMITTEE ANNOUNCES NEXT STEPS IN BANKING CRISIS INQUIRY
The Treasury Committee announced today that it will take evidence from the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Governor of the Bank of England and the Chairman of the Financial Services Authority at the start of its inquiry into the Banking Crisis, and also set out plans for the next steps in its inquiry.
Initial hearing
The first public evidence session will take place at 4.00 pm on Monday 3 November 2008 in the Grimond Room, Portcullis House, with the following witnesses appearing together:
The Rt Hon Alistair Darling MP Chancellor of the Exchequer
Mervyn King Governor of the Bank of England
Lord Turner of Ecchinswell Chairman of the Financial Services Authority
As previously announced (in the Committee’s press notice of 14 October [see Note 1], the Committee is inviting members of the public to send in questions they would like to see put to the witnesses, which can be sent to bankingcrisis(?)parliament [dot] uk up to 48 hours before the start of the hearing. Further information about submitting questions is given in Note 2 at the end of this announcement.
Listed financial institutions during the current period of heightened instability
The Committee has decided that, during the current period of heightened instability, it would not be appropriate for the Committee to take oral evidence from listed financial institutions. The Committee does expect to take evidence from such institutions at a later stage in its inquiry.
Topics for further hearings planned for November
The Committee plans to hold three further hearings in November on the following topics:
The performance and actions of two banks that have recently been nationalised: Northern Rock and Bradford & Bingley;
Fair value accounting and accounting standards, and their role in the current financial crisis;
Incentive structures (including remuneration policies) within financial institutions, and their potential effects on financial stability, both at the institutional and system-wide level.
The Committee will invite written evidence on these three specific topics when it announces the dates and witnesses for these hearings. Further written evidence will be invited at a later stage in the inquiry. Details about the submission of written evidence will be given in a subsequent press notice.
