Key takeaways
"Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) does not want to lock itself in on rates, needs to remain flexible."
"But MPC has also stressed it is ready to act if necessary."
"Main difference between my position and majority of MPC is that I was more concerned about stalling of disinflation before Iran war."
"As a result, I thought we should be acting more promptly in response to new inflation pressure."
