John Andrew Caldecott, Lately Member, Board of Banking Supervision.

Sir Dennis served as an independent member of the Board of Banking Supervision of the Bank of England from 1995 through 2001.

He led a team that produced a report into the 1995 collapse of Barings Bank for the Bank of England's Board of Banking Supervision.

Also today, NatWest's deputy chairman, Sir Philip Wilkinson, resigned as a member of Britain's Board of Banking Supervision.

A Board of Banking Supervision operates within the Bank of England and advises the governor of the Bank on banking supervisory matters.

LEAD: Britain plans legislation to tighten controls on the Bank of England by adding a sixth independent member to the board of banking supervision and by doubling the maximum insolvency deposit to $:20,000, the Treasury said.

The Bank of England's own Board of Banking Supervision was extremely critical (ironically, in a report under George's signature as chairman) of the casual way in which middle-ranking Bank of England officials had allowed Barings to breach set ratios between capital and trading in the period before the collapse.
