THE head of Yorkshire's regional development agency, Sir Graham Hall, has been appointed to Gordon Brown's euro steering group.
The Chancellor named the chairman of Yorkshire Forward as a new member of the Standing Committee on Euro Preparations.
The committee, which leads planning on euro preparations across the economy, is chaired by Mr Brown.
It counts four other Cabinet ministers, the head of the home civil service, the chairman of the Bank of England, the director general of the CBI and the general secretary of the TUC among its 15 members.
Mr Brown said: "The new members all bring special areas of expertise - local government, the voluntary sector, the consumer sector and regional development - to the committee.
"I am sure that they will all make a significant contribution to future
planning by the committee on euro preparations."
