LONDON - British lawmakers have accused the government of leaking market sensitive information to the media before the budget last October.

In a report published on Thursday , the influential Treasury Committee called for a formal investigation after the national minimum wage rate was reported by ITV News two days before the budget.

In the build-up to the Oct 27 budget, Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak was accused by lawmakers of treating Parliament with contempt by briefing so many measures to the press. "The unauthorised and premature disclosure was clearly unfortunate, and should not have happened," Scholar said. The Treasury confirmed the announcement shortly after ITV News published it on Twitter.
