A.1 Chapter 1 sets out the Government's plan to build a stronger and more balanced economy, and a summary of the key measures the Government is taking to implement this plan. This annex provides further detail, by presenting a brief description of the new supply-side measures the Government is taking to rebalance and strengthen the economy in the medium term.1, 2
A.2 The costs set out in this annex are the whole-life costs of each scheme, and do not include the cost of Barnett consequentials for the devolved administrations. For these reasons, not all costs reconcile with those in Chapter 2, which sets out costs over the Spending Review 2010 period and includes Barnett consequentials where appropriate.

This annex expands on measures from these two documents mentioned in Chapter 1, but does not duplicate these documents in their entirety.
2 The lower-case letters in brackets after some measures refer to the lines in Table 2.3 where the cost for these measures is shown.
