Lawson Joins Board of Barclays Bank
From Times Staff and Wire Service Reports
Former Chancellor of the Exchequer Nigel Lawson, whose sudden resignation threw the British government into a crisis last year, has joined the board of one of Britain’s biggest banks.
Lawson, who stormed out of the government in October after a row over economic policy with Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, is becoming a non-executive director of Barclays Bank.
In his first new job since resigning from the government, Lawson, 57, will have an advisory role and will spend about two days a week on Barclays business.
