Number 10 has denied the chancellor mislead the public or markets when she warned of difficult decisions needed to fill a black hole in the public finances ahead of her Budget.
There were warnings ahead of the Budget that Rachel Reeves could face as much as a £20 billion gap in meeting her self-imposed fiscal rule of not borrowing for day-to-day spending.
But a letter from the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) published on Friday revealed it told the chancellor as early as September 17 that the gap would be much smaller than expected.
It later informed her in October the spending gap had closed altogether and that it had even ran into a surplus.
