let's speak to our political correspondent leila nathoo. some critics suggesting, leila, that a meetingcause it did not have the forecast, so some tory mps argue we should publish the forecast as soon as we can and thereby lend those plans credibility and get some sort of validation behind them, but the government today is very clear, and the treasury are saying they will not publish the forecast until the end of november when the chancellor makes a statement although the treasury itself will be provided with an initial forecast next week, so you can expect there to be pressure on the government to publish that. but the treasury wants to say, we don't want to publish a forecast now, because it wouldn't be complete, because the forecasters would have a complete picture because they will announce further growth promoting measures in the coming weeks, i am told, things in different areas to do with business deregulation, planning rules, the energy market, childcare, all sorts of other measures they think will stimulate growth, so they want the forecasters, they say, to have the whole pictu
