🇬🇧 The UK government has launched an investigation into a budget leak that sent bank shares soaring before a major tax announcement.
Details of a temporary bank tax increase appeared in the media hours before Chancellor John Healey delivered his October 28 budget.
Treasury officials insist no banks or industry representatives were briefed in advance.
The inquiry follows previous unresolved leaks, with lawmakers demanding answers as Healey prepares to face parliamentary questioning Wednesday.
