Further to my letter to the Serious Fraud Office calling for an investigation into leaks from the heart of government and resulting insider trading, the SFO has responded in writing (right) by telling me that "we will carefully consider the points that you have raised, and will provide you with a full response as soon as we have done this."
At the very least, I believe that this SFO investigation will put a halt to the unhelpful and possibly illegal leaking of market-sensitive information from the heart of government - at least for the time being.
By the way, this isn't the first time I and others have drawn attention to suspicious market-moving leaks at the heart of government. I wrote this on CentreRight in January.
