surely the OBR forecasts include government policies?
They are never policy free business as usual projections, though the projections are likely to change when policies are announced in the budget.
Since the government keeps talking about controlling benefits by various means, although it has to keep revisiting what those proposed measures are, then surely the OBR are including their assumed impact?
