The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) has complete discretion over the content of its Fiscal Risks and Sustainability (FRS) reports. In producing the report, where a policy has been set, the government explains its policy decisions to the OBR, as set out in the Charter for Budget Responsibility. The detail of the assumptions the OBR has made is set out in the FRS.
