Bank expected to increase interest rates

The Bank of England appears set for further interest rate rises, but has left the city confused about when they will come.

Deputy governor Sir Andrew Large this month voted in favour of a quarter point rise according to the minutes of the meeting.

He is said to fear that household debt will continue to spiral out of control unless corrective action is taken.
