* FTSE 100, FTSE 250 down 0.1%
* BoE meeting, Brexit vote eyed
* TUI, Capita drop on brokerage actions
Dec 19 (Reuters) - UK shares inched lower in light trading
on Thursday, as a lack of major drivers led investors to lock in
some of the recent gains ahead of the Christmas holiday season.
The FTSE 100 .FTSE and the FTSE 250 .FTMC edged 0.1%
lower by 0807 GMT.
Traders are looking ahead to a Bank of England meeting later
on Thursday and a parliamentary vote on Prime Minister Boris
Johnson's Brexit deal on Friday, though neither is expected to
jolt markets.
Rating actions drove some moves, with blue-chip tour
operator TUI TUIT.L dipping 2% after Berenberg cut its rating
on the stock. Mid-cap outsourcing group Capita CPI.L dropped
4% on a Deutsche Bank rating downgrade.
