Chancellor Gordon Brown has been ordered to reveal the secret forecasts he was given about the impact of his pensions "grab" in 1997.
Mr Brown was accused of mounting a "raid" on pension funds by removing tax credit on share dividends in 1997.
Now the freedom of information watchdog has told Mr Brown to release Treasury forecasts of the impact of the move.
The Treasury now has until early July to release the papers or appeal against the commissioner's ruling.
It is the second major freedom of information ruling which has gone against the government this month. June 2006
