Jeremy Hunt could not tell Martin Lewis whether the public should save or spend money to help the economy.
The adviser was quizzed by the MoneySavingExpert founder on his eponymous ITV show which aired on Tuesday (January 9).
Lewis pressed Hunt on whether the “good citizen” should spend money to boost the economy or save to keep inflation low.
Hunt responded, saying: “I pride myself on always giving people direct answers to questions, but I will not answer this question… That is a very individual matter.”
