Banking Inquiry may not publish report

The banking inquiry is unlikely to publish its report into what caused the economic crash until January, leading to the belief it may never see the light of day if a snap election is called.

Inquiry officials confirmed the situation is a possibility as a separate independent investigation into a series of allegations by an internal whistleblower has delayed the original timeframe for the report to be published

The report of the 11-person inquiry was expected to published in November. The last of its public interviews takes place this month.
