A Treasury Minister has claimed it would have been difficult for the independent watchdog to assess the Government's controversial mini-Budget because there was "a lot of detail".
Top Tory Andrew Griffith suggested the Office for Budget Responsibility would have struggled to get through the 40-page document in time - directly contradicting the watchdog.
He was also forced to admit that Liz Truss ’s tax-slashing blitz was behind the economic turmoil of the past week.
