Bank of England rate decision and vote split

The short answer

The sources here give no upcoming Bank of England decision date and no recent vote split. The only Bank of England vote split in them is 7-2 on 2 November 2017, when the Monetary Policy Committee raised the rate to 0.5%, according to the Office for National Statistics.

What the sources do and do not contain

The official pages provided do not list a current or upcoming Bank of England interest rate decision date, and they do not give a recent vote split.

The only Bank of England vote split in these sources is historical: on 2 November 2017 the Monetary Policy Committee voted 7-2 in favour of raising the interest rate to 0.5%, from a record low of 0.25%, according to the Office for National Statistics.

The scheduled dates in our data are Fed meetings

The scheduled decision dates in our data are Federal Reserve FOMC meetings, not Bank of England meetings. The next listed FOMC release is Wednesday, October 28, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. US Eastern (18:00 UTC), according to the Federal Reserve.

Those dates and times apply to the Fed, so they are not given here as Bank of England dates.

Vote splits and minutes

An ECB working paper notes that the Bank of England publishes MPC minutes with attributed voting records, and that these have helped markets form expectations about future policy decisions. It does not give a current vote split.

No Bank of England decision date or vote count beyond the 2017 example appears in the sources above.
