Conclusions and recommendations
1. We
share the view of the Treasury Committee in the last two Parliaments
that hearings with appointees to the MPC and subsequent reports
on those hearings represent an important mechanism for securing
greater transparency for the processes of appointment to the MPC.
Such hearings and reports also represent one means—although
not the only means—by which this Committee can fulfil its
duty to secure proper accountability for the work of the MPC.
(Paragraph 8)
2. We are satisfied
that Mr Walton fulfils our criteria for appointment and wish him
every success in his new role as a member of the MPC. (Paragraph
13)
3. We are satisfied
that Mr Tucker continues to fulfil our criteria for appointment
and wish him every success in his second term on the MPC. (Paragraph
17)
