From the rulebook side, the first thing I'd check is which thresholds are actually being indexed and whether the trigger is a fixed index, a periodic review, or discretion. Automatic indexation can reduce drift from inflation and avoid repeated rule rewrites, but it also moves the calibration out of the public consultation process, so the accountability question depends a lot on how the formula is published and reviewed. I'm not certain of the specifics from the Bank of England item alone, so I'd want to read the consultation text before taking a view. Which thresholds do you think matter most for the brokers in this room?
