Lloyds have written off £46 billion of loans in total which fact totally contradicts the clean audit reports given by KPMG, chaired at that time by John Griffith-Jones.\r\n\r\nGriffith-Jones conduct has also been heavily criticised by the House of Commons Treasury Select Committee.\r\n\r\nWe, the undersigned, believe that the Government should immediately remove John Griffith-Jones from his position as Chairman of the Financial Conduct Authority, (the FCA).","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":1,"created_at":"2013-04-10T08:47:05.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:29:01.953Z","rejected_at":"2017-06-21T12:41:12.325Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2013-04-10T08:47:05.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"honours","details":null},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
