Input: Furious MPs last night accused the disgraced former directors of HBOS of making another ‘desperate’ attempt to block the publication of a crucial report into the lender’s collapse. The report, which has still not seen the light of day nearly seven years after the downfall of Halifax Bank of Scotland, had been expected this summer following a series of delays. It will decide whether the City watchdog should take action against former directors including chief executives James Crosby and Andy Hornby, as well as former chairman Lord Stevenson. But after years of wrangling there are growing fears that the findings could be subject to further hold-ups.Former HBOS directors accused of trying block the publication of a reportDocument hasn't seen the light of day nearly seven years after the downfallThe report had been expected this summer following a series of delaysIt will decide if City watchdog should take action against former directors
