2) was a hold / 50bps seriously considered
3) thinking behind ending balance sheet runoff now (no dissents to this

4) what is the threshold for a further cut
5) how close are we to a standing repo facility
6) the inevitable questions to be batted away on political interference impact
on the decision to cut / USD intervention.
