- Could see rates move either way after a no-deal Brexit.
- Cannot wait until all pay, price and capacity indicators are flashing red before raising rates.
- MPC does not necessarily have to keep rates on hold until all Brexit uncertainties are resolved.

- Ay PM May’s meeting he judged there was a good case to wait and see before raising rates.
- Policy tightening likely to be limited and gradual.
