Prevent the sale of the Royal Bank of Scotland at a loss to the taxpayer

Closed 5,771 signatures

What the petition asks

According to analysis of figures published by the Government on Wednesday (16th March) by Sky News, the Government are potentially planning on selling their shares in RBS at a massive £20bn loss to the taxpayer. But we don't have to accept this loss because they don't have to sell.
