Two banks told the government that Royal Mail was worth £5bn – half as much again as it was sold it for – before the sale, fuelling allegations that it was undersold.
According to the Financial Times, at least two investment banks priced the sale at £5 a share instead of the £3.30 it was sold at. The shares reached £5 in trading on Friday.
