Apparently ordered by Mark Carney. Normally we don't get this stuff for decades, but it's been decided that it will be released early.

Just before the general election.

By the man employed by Osbourne.

And guess what, it damages the labour party.

Is the timing pure coincidence?

    Sounds more damaging to the then Board of Directors of the BOE. They simply didn't have a clue. Alliance & Leicester were offered a secret loan of £3 billion in 2007.

    All party Treasury Select Committee requested publication of the minutes.

    Perhaps in an attempt to pre-empt this release? ;)

    It can't feel longer than the run up to The Referendum though. Can it? :eek:
