LONDON (Reuters) - The Bank of England named two men who have had long careers in the financial sector, David Thorburn and Norval Bryson, to serve as external members of its Prudential (LONDON:PRU) Regulation Authority, which handles day-to-day regulation of banks.

Bryson will step down as deputy chairman of life insurer Scottish Widows, part of Lloyds Banking Group (L:LLOY), and will also relinquish a role as a non-executive director of TSB (L:TSB), which has been bought by Spain's Sabadell (MC:SABE).

Thorburn was formerly chief executive of Clydesdale Bank, which is owned by National Australia Bank (AX:NAB).

"David's considerable expertise in retail and commercial banking will be of great benefit as will Norval's exposure to the insurance sector," BoE Governor Mark Carney said.

The appointments by the BoE's board, with approval from finance minister George Osborne, will take effect on Sept. 1. They also allow BoE official Paul Fisher to take up his seat on the board which had been delayed due to a lack of external members.

  •  Use standard writing style. Include punctuation and upper and lower cases.
  • NOTE: Spam and/or promotional messages and links within a comment will be removed
  • Avoid profanity, slander or personal attacks directed at an author or another user.
  • Don’t Monopolize the Conversation. We appreciate passion and conviction, but we also believe strongly in giving everyone a chance to air their thoughts. Therefore, in addition to civil interaction, we expect commenters to offer their opinions succinctly and thoughtfully, but not so repeatedly that others are annoyed or offended.
