[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This bill makes changes to how the Bank of England (which controls UK money and interest rates) is run. It updates the laws that govern the Bank to reflect how it actually works today. The exact changes depend on what Parliament has decided, but such bills typically update the Bank's powers, responsibilities, or how it's managed.

Presented by Lord Saatchi.
