No10 has slapped down a claim from one of Rishi Sunak's Cabinet ministers that getting people back to work could lead to a 2p cut in income tax.
Work and Pensions Secretary Mel Stride said if the 650,000 people who left work over the pandemic returned, the economy would increase enough to allow for the tax cuts.
But No10 refused to stand by the claim today - instead repeatedly saying tax issues were a matter for Chancellor Jeremy Hunt.
