Motion Text

That this House notes that trade unions are not currently represented on either of the Bank of England's policy committees; believes that this lessens the ability of the Bank to fully understand and anticipate the UK economy; and therefore calls on the Government to appoint a trade union representative to the Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank of England at the earliest opportunity.
