MPs call for shredding of ex-RBS chief's knighthood

Disgraced ex-RBS chief Sir Fred Goodwin could finally face the ignominy of seeing his knighthood shredded after MPs across the political spectrum began lobbying for its removal.

Politicians have voiced their disgust that the man who was knighted by former PM Gordon Brown 'for services to banking' still retains his title after the Financial Services Authority (FSA) published its damning assessment of the collapse of the bank in December 2011.
