England will never agree to such as thing because it is not in their interests to do so. Instead they will encourage Scottish banks to transfer their asset administration to England and Scotland won't be able to offer them the security they need to stay.

It is already established that EU law requires that your registered office is in the same state as your headquarters and that is taken to be where the bank does most of it's business which in this case is clearly England therefore the 'Scottish' banks will be broken up accordingly

That's what they wanted on the ballot in the first place, and secretly I'd guess was as good as they thought they could get. Definitely win win.

Scotland will most likely lose Lloyds bank and RBS as well, resulting in more job losses, plus hopefully Portsmouth will get the jobs back that it lost as part of the sweetener to the Scots. To make Scotland attractive from a corporation tax perspective, it will also need to create loopholes similar to Ireland. I doubt if Scotland can afford to be too aggressive, plus neither country is really going to get involved in a trade war. There's no winners in that.

Fratton Fred wrote: » It's not a case of bringing jobs, it's a case of those jobs going if trident leaves. Trident may only involve a few hundred jobs, but even with the plans for a Scottish navy, HMNB Clyde will be massively reduced. There is significantly more there than trident and the RN aren't going to move trident to Barrow or wherever and leave the rest of the subs in Scotland on some sort of lease.
