    Watchdog contradicts Cameron on impact of austerity on growth

    David Cameron has become involved in a dispute with the Office for Budget Responsibility about the impact of austerity

    measures on economic growth.

    In a speech on the economy on Thursday, the prime minister said the independent watchdog had made it "absolutely clear" that spending cuts and tax rises were not responsible for the weak economy.

    But the OBR said it had been arguing for years that this was an issue.

    In response, Downing Street said the OBR had also identified other factors.

    The BBC's political correspondent Chris Mason said the comments were a rebuke for the prime minister, since they concerned

    the coalition's central economic message and came from an organisation which it had set up in 2010 to provide independent

    growth and borrowing forecasts.
