Why didn’t the government name Barclays?

Posted on

The government signed a Code of Conduct with banks on their tax practices in November 2010.

Yesterday we learned Barclays has resoundingly ignored it.

But why did the government refuse to say they'd broken it? There was a deal, signed as a matter of honour. Barclays broke it and the government did not name them.

Why not?
