Title: Access 'Office for Budget Responsibility' Data
Version: 0.6.2
Authors@R: person("Charles", "Coverdale", email = "charlesfcoverdale@gmail.com", role = c("aut", "cre"))
Description: Provides clean, tidy access to data published by the 'Office for
    Budget Responsibility' ('OBR'), the UK's independent fiscal watchdog. Covers
    the Public Finances Databank (outturn for PSNB, PSND, receipts, and
    expenditure since 1946), the Historical Official Forecasts Database (every
    'OBR' forecast since 2010), the Economic and Fiscal Outlook detailed forecast
    tables (five-year projections from the latest Budget), the monthly
    profiles for the public finances (the 'OBR' forecast apportioned across
    the months of the fiscal year), and the Welfare Trends Report
    (incapacity benefit spending and caseloads). All returned
    objects carry provenance metadata recording the source URL, publication
    vintage, retrieval time, and file fingerprint, so analyses can be audited
    and reproduced. Data is downloaded from the 'OBR' on first use and cached
    locally for subsequent calls. Data is sourced from the 'OBR' website
    <https://obr.uk>.
