Halifax merged with Bank of Sotland to form HBos. However, they found themselves in a disastrous financial situation, owing to their exposure to bad debt. Rather than let the company fail, with catastrophic results to their mortgage holders and the economy as a whole, the Government allowed LloydsTSB to take it over (waiving competition legislation which should have prevented it).
This proved to be a false dawn, and the debts of HBoS forced LloydsTSB to seek Government bail-out as the credit crunch deepened. Technically, we as taxpayers now own a proportion of what was Halifax.
