LONDON, May 23 (UPI) -- A secret Bank of England task force is investigating the financial implications of the United Kingdom's possible exit from the European Union if a planned public referendum passes in the coming year or so.
Dubbed "Project Bookend," the bank accidentally blew its covert operation Friday when an email was mistakenly sent to The Guardian, detailing information about the task force as well as how media questions regarding the so-called Brexit -- a British exit from the EU -- should be addressed.
