Mann was one of two members of the BoE's Monetary Policy Committee who last week voted for a half-point cut in interest rates to 4.25%, against the majority who favoured a quarter-point cut to 4.25%.

The central bank cut rates for the third time in about six months as it said economic growth had been weaker than expected.

Mann's first vote for a cut during this cycle marked a departure from her comments in August, when she warned Britain not to be 'seduced' into believing that the battle against inflation is over, citing wage growth and related concerns in the services sector.

Bank of England policymaker Catherine Mann said on Tuesday that her unexpected vote for a half percentage-point cut in interest rates last week did not mean she wanted a series of rate cuts or that she would vote the same way again in March.

Bank of England Chief Economist Huw Pill pushed back against colleagues voting for a large interest rate cut, arguing that they are “rushing” to change policy too quickly.

Bank boss Andrew Bailey told the BBC it expected to cut rates further but warned the road ahead would be bumpy.
