Labour shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves described the statement as a "menu without prices", as she criticised the Government's plans.
“The chancellor has confirmed that the costs of the energy price cap will be funded by borrowing, leaving the eye-watering windfall profits of the energy giants untaxed," she said.
“The oil and gas producers will be toasting the chancellor in the boardrooms as we speak while working people are left to pick up the bill.
“Borrowing higher than it needs to be, just as interest rates rise. And yet the chancellor refuses to allow independent economic forecasts to be published, which would show the impact of this borrowing on our public finances and growth, and on inflation.
“It is a budget without figures, a menu without prices. What has the chancellor got to hide?”
