LONDON (Reuters) -Britain increased its public borrowing in the first five months of the tax year, according to data published on Thursday, and finance minister Jeremy Hunt looks likely to have little room to offer major tax cuts to voters later this year. Public sector net borrowing, excluding state-owned banks, totalled 69.6 billion pounds ($85.7 billion) in the April-August period, 19.3 billion pounds more than a year earlier. But analysts said a slowdown in the economy would hurt tax revenues and the Office for Budget Responsibility was likely to revise up its estimates for debt interest spending when Hunt makes his next budget statement in November.
