Commenting on the letter, the Chairman of the Treasury Committee, Andrew Tyrie MP, said:
“The scope and limits of the Bank’s role in this scheme need a good deal of clarification, both to safeguard the Bank’s authority to act in fulfilment of its statutory responsibility for financial stability and to safeguard its independence.”
