The City Throws a Party for Cash ISA Reversal – No More Cutting Back

The London financial district welcomed Chancellor John Healey’s promise to reverse the cash ISA allowance cut, prompting a quick celebration among City firms and savers.

The announcement was met with cheers from brokers and bankers, and a few people who actually read the budget.
