LONDON, Nov 28 (Reuters) - Bank of England interest-rate setter Jonathan Haskel said the inflationary heat still in Britain's labour market suggested there was no way to cut interest rates from their 15-year high any time soon.
"The labour market is still historically tight. At current rates of change it would take at least a year to fall back to average pre-pandemic tightness," Haskel said in a text copy of a speech he was due to make later on Tuesday.
"Rates will have to be held higher and longer than many seem to be expecting." (Writing by William Schomberg; editing by William James)
