Boost but borrowing to stay high

Britain's threadbare finances will be underlined by figures which are forecast to show net Government borrowing remained stubbornly high at £117 billion in the latest financial year.

Public sector net borrowing is expected to narrowly undershoot official forecasts for £120.9 billion in the year to the end of March, and below the £121 billion net borrowing a year earlier, figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) are expected to show.
