Viscount Younger’s daughter leaves £2 million will

By Alexander Lawrie

A VISCOUNT’S daughter recruited as a top banking executive by shamed former RBS boss Fred Goodwin has left almost £2 million in her will.

Viscount George Younger’s daughter Joanna Davidson – who died last October aged 50 after a year-long battle against cancer – was head of corporate responsibility for the Royal Bank of Scotland.

She was recruited by then banking boss Goodwin in 2003 to launch a new corporate and social responsibility division.

Ms Davidson’s father – the former Conservative Scottish Secretary of State for Scotland, and ex-RBS chairman, George Younger – also died from cancer in January 2003.
