Dunfermline chairman's anger
Updated on 29 March 2009
The chairman of Dunfermline Building Society has made clear his anger at Treasury plans to break up and sell his company.
Jim Faulds said the board of the building society was "extremely disappointed" with the Treasury's decision, calling it a "scandal", and added that he had not heard from the Treasury since last October.
Plans for Dunfermline Building Society, which is expected to record huge losses in the coming weeks, include selling off the profitable bits to other financial institutions while the taxpayer would effectively absorb the company's "toxic assets".
The government has said that negotiations are still continuing, but the problems with Dunfermline are so severe that a cash injection would have no effect.
