Bank of England MPC split in QE vote 20 February 2013 Last updated at 10:25 Bank of England governor Sir Mervyn King was one of three Monetary Policy Committee members to vote in favour of more stimulus measures this month. Minutes of the MPC's meeting show it voted 6-3 against expanding the quantitative easing (QE) programme from its current level of £375bn. However, markets saw the vote as increasing the chance of more QE later. The pound fell sharply against other currencies following the release of the minutes. Against the dollar, the pound was down 0.7% at $1.5325, while sterling dropped 0.9% to 1.1420 euros.
