The UK Treasury revealed on 9 February 2005 a secret archive on the events of 'Black Wednesday', 16 September 1992, when sterling was ejected from the European Exchange Rate Mechanism. The documents concerned had been requested by the Financial Times newspaper under the new Freedom of Information Act. Article reports that the Financial Times has applied for an internal review of the Treasury's refusal to release the documents in their entirety, key sections having been held back.
