Government borrowing was higher than expected in June, according to the latest official figures.
Borrowing – the difference between public sector spending and income from taxes – was £14.5bn, down £3.2bn from the year before and the lowest figure for June since 2019.
However, the figure was about £3bn more than economists had forecast.
The total amount of government debt remains at levels last seen in the early 1960s, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said.
