520 _aEconomists have warned that the Bank of England's decision to raise the interest rate could widen the north-south split. Unemployment is a major factor - in the Midlands, Wales and Scotland it has continued to rise steadily whilst in London and the south-east it has fallen. A rise in interest rates could cause unemployment to rise to 10.2% by 2002 in the north-east.
