LONDON (Reuters) - Britain is not lagging other central banks in issuing a digital version of its currency for day-to day-payments, Bank of England Deputy Governor Jon Cunliffe said on Tuesday.
Cunliffe was pressed by lawmakers on the Treasury Select Committee on why a public consultation on a digital pound launched earlier this month had been delayed by several months.
