Jeremy Hunt has called on the cabinet secretary, Simon Case, to prevent the release of a review by the Office for Budget Responsibility into his spending plans, which is scheduled to be released on the day of the budget.

The former chancellor has accused Rachel Reeves of politicising the Office for Budget Responsibility, after she announced she would release a review into the spending forecast published during his time at the Treasury.
