Original Note:
The letter in the post contains reference to a "£22bn blackhole" - this is misleading. The OBR report that accompanied the Budget found only a £9.5bn 'hole'. But, they were unable to say how much of this "would have been absorbed and offset by other savings". https://obr.uk/docs/dlm_uploads/Review_of_the_March_2024_forecast_for_DELs.pdf
