Mervyn King: What went wrong and where to now?
Mervyn King, Governor of the Bank of England's address to the UK Trades Union Congress. Manchester, Wednesday 15 September 2010
President and Congress
I want first to thank you for inviting me to address Congress. Members of your General Council have made a huge contribution to the Bank of England by serving on our board - the Bank's Court.
Carrying on that tradition today is Brendan Barber. By bringing a distinct and important perspective to our discussions, Brendan has helped us through some extremely turbulent times. I am grateful to him.
