- majority of MPC think a lessening of 'trade-off' evident if economy continues on current path
- all MPC think rate hikes will be faster than current market pricing, if economy follows August QIR projections
- early Q3 data stronger than committee anticipated in August Report
- Recent developments reinforce belief slack to disappear more rapidly than expected
- Underlying pay growth has showing signs of recovery, albeit still modest
- there remains considerable risk to the economic outlook
- all on MPC agree rise in Bank rate should be 'gradual' and 'limited'
- overall, UK weighted world GDP growth in Q2 slightly stronger than expected by MPC
