front door

the formal mechanism whereby the BANK OF ENGLAND makes loans to the DISCOUNT HOUSES when the discount houses experience temporary liquidity shortages. In this capacity as LENDER OF LAST RESORT, the Bank of England charges a penal interest rate on the loans that it makes (called BILL DISCOUNTING rate).
