Government borrowing soared in November as the United Kingdom (UK) continued to support the economy during the pandemic.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said borrowing hit £31.6bn last month, the highest November figure on record.
It was also the third-highest borrowing in any month since monthly records began in 1993.
Since the beginning of the financial year, borrowing has reached £240.9bn, £188.6bn more than a year ago.
The independent Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) has estimated it could reach £372.2bn by the end of the financial year in March.
