Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne said the opposition Treasury spokesman, Ed Balls, had been “a little immature” in his attack on Bank of England Governor Mervyn King.
Balls said in the Feb. 17 edition of the Financial Times that King should avoid being “drawn into the political arena” and not associate himself “too closely” with the government’s “extreme” deficit-reduction plans.
