By Jason Groves PUBLISHED: 14:30 EST, 20 March 2013 | UPDATED: 05:57 EST, 21 March 2013 The editor of the London Evening Standard issued a grovelling apology last night after the newspaper published details of the Budget before George Osborne stood up to deliver it. Sarah Sands said she was ‘devastated’ by the error, which resulted in a photograph of the newspaper’s front page story on the Budget being published on Twitter while MPs were still waiting for the Chancellor to begin. She said a ‘very young and inexperienced’ journalist had been suspended while the newspaper carried out a full investigation.
