abstract:Sir Anthony Michael Vaughn Salz, a prominent solicitor, sat on the Board of Governors of the BBC and was Acting Chairman in 2006. Salz assumed the position on 1 August 2004 after the resignation of the former Vice Chairman, Lord Ryder.
It is significant, I think, that in agreeing to lead the review, AnthonySalz insisted on the right to publish his report, even if Barclays itself does not like his analysis or conclusions.
Is it possible that Barclays' board has been misled by Anthony Salz's urbane manner and establishment background into thinking that his review of the bank's business practices will deliver an answer to them which is comforting and anodyne?
