Mark Carney is limbering up for another encounter with members of Parliament’s Treasury Committee after a fiery exchange with pro-Brexit lawmaker Jacob Rees-Mogg in March over the U.K.’s referendum on European Union membership. In what’s due to be his last public engagement before a pre-vote purdah, the Bank of England governor will testify at 10 a.m. in London on Tuesday, alongside Deputy Governor Ben Broadbent and fellow officials Martin Weale and Gertjan Vlieghe.
