Cunliffe Supports Carney on Interest Rates

Bank of England deputy governor Sir Jon Cunliffe has joined the debate over raising UK interest rates, indicating now is not the right time for a rise.

Governor Mark Carney has also said this is not the time for a rate adjustment.

But chief economist Andy Haldane has said he may join rate rise dissenters and back a hike later in the year.

Sir Jon told the BBC he wanted to see how inflation pressures evolved before deciding to raise interest rates from a record low 0.25%.
