I forgot to add a couple of points on the previous Mervyn King post :
1 the title – it should have been as above
2 I think Lord King should be invited to join SAGE – the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies which provides scientific and technical advice to support government decision makers during emergencies.
His wisdom and experience in advising Prime Ministers and Chancellors during a crisis, could be invaluable in helping to guide Advisory bodies and Government through the worst health and economic emergency of our lifetime.
