Government borrowing continued to surge in March due the cost of supporting households with their energy bills.
Borrowing, the difference between spending and tax income, was £21.5bn, last month, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said.
That is the second-highest March borrowing figure since monthly records began in 1993.
The ONS said a rise in tax receipts was offset by higher spending on energy support for households and businesses.
