Mark Carney: Bank of England is 'absolutely independent'

Bank of England Governor Mark Carney has told Andrew Marr that the Bank's intervention in the EU debate was "carefully considered" and "only reflect" the Bank's remits, such as to meet the UK inflation target.

"We are absolutely independent," Mr Carney insisted.

He said there are "risks around" choosing to leave the EU but adds that there are also risks connected to the government's policy to Remain.
