Quotes from Barclays Capital:

-Although we expect wage pressure in the UK to build gradually over the coming quarters, we believe there is still enough slack in the economy to prevent an excessive acceleration in earnings. Moreover, price pressure remains subdued at the global level, and although increasing, wage growth is still moderate and real pay is just back in positive territory.

-However, upcoming labour market and activity data are likely to be scrutinised by both market participants and MPC members and could introduce some uncertainty regarding the date of the first rate hike. We expect the BoE to start increasing the bank rate in Q2 2015.
