英国财政大臣约翰·希利正就一起涉嫌在预算公布前泄露市场敏感信息的事件接受审查，该泄露导致银行股价格发生波动 1。彭博社于上午10:45发布报道指出，银行公司税附加税率将低于贷款机构此前担忧的8%，且仅为暂时性上调 1。随后，希利于中午12:30在下议院发表正式预算声明，确认最终政策是将银行公司税附加税率从3%暂时提高至6%，为期15个月，自2027年1月1日起生效 1。这项增税旨在为缓解家庭能源账单压力的措施提供资金支持 1。
下议院国库委员会主席梅格·希勒已致函财政部常务秘书James Bowler及金融行为监管局（FCA）首席执行官，要求调查此事件是否构成不当发布内幕信息 1。希勒在信中要求确认相关变更细节是否在预算公布前被透露给银行或其代表，并查明有权访问该敏感信息的内部人员数量 1。希利计划在下个月出席下议院国库委员会听证会，就此事作出解释 1。
UK Finance Minister John Healey is under pressure to address concerns that market-sensitive information leaked ahead of his budget announcement, causing fluctuations in bank share prices 1. The controversy centers on a Bloomberg report published at 10:45 am, which stated that the bank corporation tax surcharge would be lower than the 8% feared by lenders and would only apply temporarily 1. This news broke significantly earlier than the formal budget statement delivered by Healey in the House of Commons at 12:30 pm 1.
Meg Hillier, Chair of the Treasury Select Committee, has formally requested an investigation into whether this constituted an improper disclosure of insider information 1. In letters addressed to James Bowler, Permanent Secretary at HM Treasury, and the Chief Executive of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), Hillier demanded confirmation on whether banks or their representatives were informed of the changes prior to the official release and sought details on how many individuals had access to the sensitive data 1.
The final confirmed policy introduced by Healey raises the bank corporation tax surcharge from 3% to 6%, effective January 1, 2027, for a duration of 15 months 1. This temporary increase is designed to fund measures providing relief on household energy bills 1. Despite the eventual policy aligning with some aspects of the early reporting, the pre-market reaction triggered by the leak has led to calls for accountability, with Healey scheduled to appear before the Treasury Select Committee next month to explain the circumstances surrounding the breach 1.
