VERDICT — CONFIRMED
The Bank of England on June 18 published minutes of its Court of Directors meeting held April 23, 2026, per the Bank's news feed.
Per the release, the Court acts as a unitary board setting the Bank's strategy and budget and taking key decisions on resourcing and appointments. It is required to meet at least seven times a year, and its composition runs to five executive members from the Bank plus up to nine non-executive members.
The Court is distinct from the Monetary Policy Committee: it governs the institution rather than setting interest rates, and its minutes are published on a lag as a governance-transparency measure.
What is confirmed is the publication of the April 23 minutes and the release's description of the Court's role and composition. The substance of what the Court discussed or decided at that meeting was not carried in the feed and remains unverified here; it sits in the minutes document itself.
