Government Securities
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of the potential implications for her policies of the rise in 30-year gilt yields to 5.772 per cent on 12 May 2026.
Answered by Torsten Bell
The government does not comment on specific financial market movements. Gilt yields are determined by a wide range of international and domestic factors.
