Commenting on further details of RBS job cuts in Scotland, Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Tavish Scott said:
"This is a desperate week for Scottish financial services. Yet another state owned bank is laying off skilled workers in Scotland.
"It seems to me that bank bosses are taking advantage of the UK Government's paralysis and dripping out announcements of long term job cuts that will damage Scotland's economy.
"Many people will now be wondering why so much public money is being used to pay for redundancies."
