Professor Alan Taylor has been appointed by the Chancellor following a fair and open recruitment process run by HM Treasury to join the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) on 2 September for a 3-year term, replacing current external member Professor Jonathan Haskel who has been on the MPC since September 2018.

No appointments have been asked to resign or have been removed from their posts since 4 July 2024.
