Here we show government spending by department, including capital funding, and where it鈥檚 expected they鈥檒l be forced to make savings

Health

CSR health data

Health, along with international development, is one of the budgets to have been 鈥渞ingfenced鈥� by the government, but this doesn鈥檛 mean that capital spending won鈥檛 decline - the Budget predicted a fall of 拢500m to 拢4.9bn in 2010/11.

Communities and local government

CSR communities data

Eric Pickles鈥� department was one of the first to settle its budget with the Treasury, although it was reported to be a 鈥減rovisional鈥� settlement that did not include capital expenditure, and cuts to local government were dependent on how much other departments grant local councils. The Housing and Communities Agency is to have 拢220m less.

Education

CSR education data

The 拢55bn 黑洞社区 Schools for the Future programme has gone, but this could have been a sacrifice made by education secretary Michael Gove with the intention of opening the way to gentler cuts in the spending review. We will know whether it succeeded on 20 October.

Transport

CSR transport data

Transport secretary Philip Hammond must prepare for cuts of about 25%. Hammond has recently hinted that train passengers will have to 鈥渟hare the pain鈥� in cuts, so fare increases could go some way towards funding huge infrastructure projects such as Crossrail and the tube.

Justice

CSR justice data

A letter to the Public and Commercial Services Union in August claimed that 拢2bn of the department鈥檚 拢9bn budget could be cut. Justice secretary Ken Clarke has already announced cuts to the 拢4bn prison building programme, with most of the five proposed schemes expected to be scrapped.

Energy and climate change

CSR energy data

Chris Huhne has settled his budget with the Treasury, but it does not include nuclear and coal legacy costs, so there have been warnings that cuts may have to come from the green development head, putting at risk feed-in tariffs and wind farm development.
