The watchdog said the programme, which aired ahead of the spring budget, was 'overwhelmingly reflective of the viewpoints of different strands of opinion within the Conservative Party'.
The watchdog received 45 complaints from viewers who raised concerns that the programme failed to meet impartiality rules.
Ofcom said its investigation found the programme was"overwhelmingly reflective of the viewpoints of different strands of opinion within the Conservative Party". The watchdog therefore concluded that the news channel"failed to represent and give due weight to an appropriately wide range of significant views on a matter of major political controversy".
Ofcom added that there were"only very limited references to wider perspectives on UK economic and fiscal policy in the context of the forthcoming budget". "For example, no real attention was given anywhere in the programme to the viewpoints of politicians, political parties, organisations or individuals that either, for example, criticised, opposed or put forward policy alternatives to the viewpoints given by the three Conservative politicians," the watchdog added.
