Mr. Jack

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer in what ways the Court of the Bank of England will be reformed to enable it to take into account the full range of industrial and business views within the United Kingdom; and if he will make a statement. [1868]

Mrs. Liddell

[holding answer 2 June 1997]: The Chancellor said in his 6 May letter to the Governor of the Bank of England that the Court will be representative of the whole of the United Kingdom. The non-executive members will be appointed for their expertise and will be drawn widely from industry, commerce and finance.
