Before his appointment to the Bank of England and MPC, John served as Private Secretary to Chancellors Lawson, Major and Lamont. He also carried out two spending reviews, for Labour and the Conservatives. John now has a number of advisory roles, extending from forex and retail payment systems to regulation. He explains how governments present slight shifts in policy as radical change, but central bankers describe even fundamental change as ‘entirely consistent.’
