Appendix Two Changes to the Department's budgets over the spending review period

1 The table overleaf sets out the Department's final settlement for the spending review period, broken down by major programme areas. It includes selected budget lines from our sample, indicated by asterisks, where we examined the reductions made by the Department from its planned spend before the spending review. The reductions to planned spend over 2011-12 to 2014-15 are set out in absolute and percentage terms. In addition, the table contains the 2010-11 baseline used by the Treasury to calculate the total real-terms reductions by 2014-15. This is set out in the last column.
