BANK of England Monetary Policy Committee member David Miles voted un-successfully to provide further stimulus to the struggling UK economy at the MPC's meeting two weeks ago, it has emerged.
Minutes of the MPC's November 7 and 8 meeting, published yesterday, show Mr Miles voted on his own to increase the scale of the Bank's quantitative easing (QE) programme by £25 billion to £400bn.
The other eight MPC members, including Bank Governor Sir Mervyn King, voted to hold QE at £375bn.
