Chancellor Rishi Sunak said the UK economy will contract by 11.3% in 2020 during his Spending Review speech to parliament, the largest fall in output for more than 300 years.
Sunak also told parliament that borrowing was at the "highest recorded level" in peacetime history. The country is forecast to borrow a total of £394bn, equivalent to 19% of gross domestic product.
