A report from members of parliament’s Treasury Committee stated that policymakers must protect independent economic forecasts during periods of fiscal constraint. The committee supported the Office for Budget Responsibility, arguing that calls for its reform appear driven by a desire for increased government spending capacity. The committee recommended that the Office for Budget Responsibility produce an additional 10-year medium term forecast and increase parliamentary discussion of its annual fiscal risks and 50-year reports.
