National's finance spokesperson Nicola Willis is calling out Labour for what she says is a $18.2 billion gap in their spending.

At a press conference Willis called on Labour leader Chris Hipkins and the party's senior MPs to explain the gap between its spending plans and revenue intentions.

It comes as Labour announced it will cap public transport fares at $20 a week in main centres and $10 everywhere else if elected.

Willis criticised the move saying it was "yet another dubiously-costed policy".
