Jeremy Hunt criticized the OBR for compromising political impartiality, particularly over the timing of a report coinciding with the Autumn Budget criticized by opposition.
Hunt contends that the OBR's decision to publish a potentially critical review about the fiscal situation during the budget announcement is inconsistent with impartiality.
Richard Hughes, OBR chairman, defended the timing of the report, emphasizing that it pertains to the relationship between the OBR and Treasury, and its adequacy in prior information.
The upcoming review will focus on departmental spending transparency and how previous government data was shared with the OBR, amid claims of a fiscal gap.
