Top bankers to hold secret talks with Darling in bid to avert tough sanctions
Patrick Hosking, Helen Power and Suzy Jagger
"Alistair Darling is to meet the chiefs of top British and American banks at a secret meeting in Davos tomorrow to hear their concerns about the introduction of tough new sanctions against the banking sector.
"The Times has learnt that the bosses of HSBC, Barclays and Standard Chartered, and top executives from key American banks, including JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley, will try to persuade the Chancellor that any moves to curtail the banks will have unforeseen repercussions for the global economy.
"The talks will be hosted by Peter Sands, the group chief executive of Standard Chartered, one of the architects of last year's banking bailout."
