Are you suggesting that if HMG wanted to take back control of

interest

rates that some higher authority would stop it? I don't think the EU

I might be wrong but I understood it as a one way move, even if the
HMG could take back control, for the same administration / people to
do so would be seen as an admission of frecking up the original
decision I suspect...



Agreed, but that wouldn't bother them.
