The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of the adequacy of the OBR's report entitled Economic and fiscal outlook, published in November 2025.

Answered by James Murray

The OBR’s November 2025 Economic and Fiscal Outlook is a detailed document, and plays a key role in our robust and transparent fiscal framework.

The report shows that growth is up this year, that living standards are up over the Parliament, and that we are getting borrowing and debt down.
