Bank chief faces grilling at TUC congress

Bank of England Governor Mervyn King will face questions on bankers’ bonuses and tax evasion as well as a boycott by a leading trade unionist when he addresses the TUC Congress tomorrow.

The 62-year-old will become only the second Governor to address the TUC when he speaks to delegates in Manchester in the wake of union attacks at the scale of bankers’ pay while Government spending is being cut back.
