Commenting on the announcement, Mervyn King - Governor of the Bank - said: "A major recapitalisation of the UK banking system of at least £50 billion is a necessary condition for regenerating confidence in the financial system. The recapitalisation, further liquidity support from the Bank of England and the new guarantee scheme amount to a significant step forward in resolving the present crisis".
