The Bank of England was forced to intervene after then chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng's mini-budget sent markets spiralling.

The Bank started selling the government debt to public bidders in November, and finished its sell-off on Wednesday this week.

A statement said the Bank waited for interested buyers to come to them to prevent volatility in the market."This approach helped ensure that the unwind was responsive to market demand and did not trigger renewed dysfunction," the Bank said."This targeted and temporary intervention was designed to restore financial stability and orderly market conditions.

"The government has also taken significant action to restore economic stability, taking difficult decisions on tax and spending and setting out a credible plan to halve inflation this year, grow the economy, and get debt falling.", which contained billions of pounds worth of unfunded tax cuts, shook market confidence in the UK government's ability to manage the economy.After announcing the plans, Mr Kwarteng indicated more plans to cut taxes without forecasts.

During the Conservative Party conference, the government had to announce a planned removal of the 45p tax rate would not go ahead., before Jeremy Hunt was installed as his replacement. Mr Hunt completed the funeral rites for the mini-budget, before Ms Truss resigned amid acrimony in the Tory party over fracking and the way the government was run.
