It is with great sadness that the Bank of England has learnt that David Walton, an external member of the Monetary Policy Committee, died yesterday evening, unexpectedly and after a short illness.

22 June 2006
The Governor, Mervyn King, said "All our thoughts are with David's wife, his young children and his parents. David inspired the respect and affection of all his colleagues in the Bank, and today's news has come as a shock to us all, as it will to those who knew him in the City, where he made his reputation as an economist."
