David Davis, the Conservative MP and chairman of the Future of Banking Commission, told The Sunday Telegraph: "The report is not yet written but I agree with the principle of breaking up the banks, either in terms of size, or by utility.
"We have to do this even if the rest of the world won't follow too. And if bad banks leave the UK as a result, so what?"
