Andrew Verity and Mickey Clark discuss the IMF's latest forecast for the UK, the problem of uncollected taxes, and take a look ahead to the Scottish Government's spending plans.

With Andrew Verity and Mickey Clark.

What can be done to boost the UK's economic growth? The International Monetary Fund, an organisation that fosters global monetary co-operation between countries, has downgraded its forecast for growth to just 1.1 per cent in 2011. Philip Shaw, chief economist at Investec, joins the programme.

Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs will release its figure for uncollected taxes later in the morning. In 2010 that figure was 42 billion pounds. The programme speaks to Heather Self, a former senior director at HMRC.

Also, a look ahead to the Scottish Government's spending plans for the next three years, plus the papers and markets.
