Earlier Tuesday, Moody's Investors Service said part state-owned U.K. banks Royal Bank Of Scotland Group PLC (RBS) and Lloyds Banking Group PLC (LYG) face ratings cuts as their chances of further state support recede.

The ratings agency in April had said it would reassess the effect of implied state support on 19 U.K. financial institutions. Tuesday, it formally put some of the banks on review for downgrade and changed the outlook to negative on Barclays PLC (BCS) while affirming a negative outlook on Hsbc Holdings PLC (HBC).

In all, 14 banks and building societies are now on review for downgrade. In addition to RBS and the Lloyds Tsb Bank PLC unit of Lloyds Banking Group, the list for possible ratings cuts includes the U.K. units of Banco Santander SA (STD), National Australia Bank Ltd. (NAB.AU) and Bank Of Ireland (IRE), and the country's largest building societies, Nationwide and Yorkshire.

skin yes loking sick and no driver at lloyds it as no one at the helm
the decks are awash

Lloyds and RBS will be up rated as soon as they are free from the shackles of government support.

Banks are doing well today

I guess this won't have hurt Lloyds.

National Australia Bank Ltd. (NAB.AU) will emerge as the buyer of all or parts of Lloyds Banking Group PLC's (LYG) Verde unit as the company becomes increasingly likely to be forced to sell the operation, according to the BBC.

The BBC report comes in the wake of a British committee on Tuesday saying that an April recommendation that Lloyds should sell more branches to encourage greater U.K. banking competition will be a feature of a final, September report from the government-appointed Independent Commission on Banking.

NAB, which already owns the Clydesdale and Yorkshire banks in the U.K., is seen as the only real bidder in town by Lloyds, according to the BBC.
