The Chancellor, Alistair Darling, has written to the Treasury Select Committee explaining his proposals for banking regulation reform and the governance of the Bank of England. In his letter, the Chancellor explains that financial stability will become a statutory objective of the Bank of England. The Bank's role in this regard will be overseen by a new Committee of the Bank's Court of Directors. Changes to the Court are also proposed: its size will be limited to a maximum of 12 members, the majority of whom will be non-executive.
