LONDON (Reuters) - The Bank of England said on Wednesday it had appointed senior business figures Roger Carr, David Lees, Mark Tucker and Harrison Young as members of its Financial Stability Committee.

The governor and two deputy governors of the central bank also sit on the committee, set up earlier this year to beef up the Bank's oversight of the financial services industry.

Roger Carr, a non-executive director of Centrica (CNA.L), has accepted his appointment as an interim measure, pending the appointment of a further member, the BoE said.

David Lees is chairman of Tate and Lyle (TATE.L) and deputy chairman of Qinetiq (QQ.L). Mark Tucker is chief executive of Prudential (PRU.N) but has announced he will step down in September. Harrison Young is a non-executive director of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA.AX).
