Britain won't scrap banker accountability system, says minister

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain will not scrap its post-financial crisis system of making senior bankers directly accountable for their risky decisions, financial services minister Andrew Griffith said on Tuesday.

"The core underlying principles remain the same," Griffith told parliament's Treasury Select Committee, adding there will be changes to the senior managers' regime to avoid "scope creep".
