LONDON, Sept 12 (Reuters) - The British government intends to stick to a timetable for banking reform set out in an independent report, finance minister George Osborne said on Monday.
The Independent Commission on Banking (ICB) said "an extended implementation period would be appropriate" for the reforms but they should be completed by 2019.
"(ICB head) John Vickers himself sets out a timetable and I intend to stick to his timetable. So he says let's have all the changes in place by the end of this decade," Osborne said in an interview broadcast on Sky News.
"There are a lot of changes involved, that is why it will take some time, but let's get the legislation through in this parliament and we have a commitment to legislate to get the rules in place..and then it will take some time for the full rules to come in to place."
