Letter: Changed rules at the Stock Exchange

Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Sir: Your report "Exchange clamps down on leaks" (20 November) continues to suggest that the recent changes by the Stock Exchange to Listing Rule 16.7 were connected with Lord Stevens' interview with the Financial Times on 13 November. This is not the case:the changes were finalised some weeks before that date. United News & Media is advised that it has throughout acted within the rules, and it has not been approached by the Stock Exchange in connection with any inquiry into the interview.
