Huw Pill would have been a "metter" in August

"For what it is worth, I would have judged the necessary condition embedded in the MPC's forward guidance to have been met at the August meeting. My focus would have been on the shorter-term supply concept, which is more relevant for inflation (and thus for assessing policy in the context of the MPC's remit). At the same time (and as reflected in my answer to a previous question), I recognise that with activity still below pre-Covid levels, there is potential supply available in the economy over the medium-term. Without prejudicing its commitment to price stability, monetary policy should seek to support a level of activity that exploits that potential as fully as possible."
