Mr. Brown was pretty critical of Lawrence Tomlinson, entrepreneur in residence at the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills in the UK. He compiled a report on banking for SMEs in the UK and, in particular, he had a lot of harsh things to say about RBS. Mr. Brown has been very critical of his findings. Have there been any findings within Ulster Bank? It has been suggested that there are 40 potential cases within Ulster Bank and 50 in the northern part of the island that were identified in the Tomlinson allegations. Has Ulster Bank looked into the matter?
