There have been further conversations between the chancellor and the prime minister. Mr Hunt also met the governor of the Bank of England Andrew Bailey, and the head of the Debt Management Office, which has to sell Britain’s debt, to brief them on plans.

Markets will reopen shortly here without support from Bank of England emergency purchases of government borrowing. This will be a key test.

Monday’s moves, which could amount to a significant fiscal event in and of itself, is designed to reinject market confidence.

The Debt Plan will still be published in a fortnight’s time on 31 October, alongside an official forecast from the Office for Budget Responsibility.
