Bailey's appearance before MPs - which has been likened to the showdowns with Lord King, former head of the bank during the 2008 financial crash - will come amid intense effort by the chancellor, Rishi Sunak, to find new measures to ease the cost of living before the summer recess.

Bailey's appearance at the Treasury select committee will come in the aftermath of growing criticism of the bank's performance, including from some cabinet ministers, one of whom told the Sunday Telegraph they were now“questioning its independence”.
