LONDON, Feb 2 (Reuters) - NatWest CEO Alison
Rose will face a grilling by British lawmakers next Tuesday over
whether lenders are passing on enough of central bank interest
rate rises to consumers, after initially saying she was too busy
to attend.
"Following further discussions with the Treasury Committee
on the vital issues at hand, Alison Rose will be attending next
week's Committee hearing," a spokesperson for NatWest said.
Harriett Baldwin, chair of the committee, had said on
Wednesday that she was keen for all major banks' top bosses to
appear and for there not to be an all-male panel.
Lloyds boss Charlie Nunn and executives from Barclays and
HSBC are also set to attend the hearing held by the powerful
Treasury Select Committee next week.
