	Lloyds TSB Group Plc and Abbey National Plc: A report on the proposed merger
		Abbey National, along with Halifax, is one of the two most successful branch-based suppliers which have shown the capability and staying power to win a significant share of the PCA market despite the barriers to growth.
		Abbey National was in 1989 the first building society to convert from mutual to public limited company (plc) status.
		We consider therefore that the acquisition of Abbey National by Lloyds TSB would reduce competition in the supply of banking services to SMEs, where there is a particular need for increased competition, because it would eliminate one of the very few players outside the big four which are able to contest this market.

		Arnold's background in investment banking is particularly crucial given that his first decision at Abbey has been to ditch everything that could vaguely be included under that heading.
