Open exchange of views in these meetings is critical for the Government and the Bank to understand each other’s views on the outlook for the economy and monetary and fiscal policy, to support policy making in both institutions. These meetings are therefore confidential.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Arundel and South Downs answering member printed Andrew Griffith question first answered 29/06/2023 08:50:29 answering member 4874 label Biography information for Andrew Griffith
