LONDON, March 3 (Reuters) - British lawmakers said on Friday that they were launching an inquiry into how the Bank of England's operational independence was functioning. The Economic Affairs Committee of the House of Lords, the upper house of parliament, said it would not review specific policy decisions, but wanted to look at the BoE's role and remit, as well as its governance and accountability structures.
