Britain's delegation to a meeting of top Group of 20 finance officials in Washington, including Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey, walked out in protest at Russia's participation, a British finance ministry spokesperson said on Wednesday.

"Alongside our allies the U.S. and Canada, representatives from the UK left the G20 meeting as Russian delegates spoke," the spokesperson said.
