Treasury select committee to question Carney on Greek crisis and interest rates

Bank of England governor to appear before MPs after raising concerns about threat to UK from eurozone crisis, over-leveraged banks and weaker growth

The Bank of England governor, Mark Carney, will face questions this week about the outlook for interest rates and the precarious situation in Greece when he becomes the first witness to appear before the new-look Treasury select committee.

The parliamentary committee - one of the most influential in Westminster - will meet on Tuesday for the first time since the general election, the first opportunity for the new members to set out their agendas.
