2 The figure summarises GDS spending controls as at 1 March 2017. For full details of GDS and other Cabinet Office controls, see Cabinet Office and Efficiency Reform Group, Cabinet Office controls, 2017. Available at: www.gov.uk/government/publications/cabinet-office-controls.

3 A new Cabinet Office assurance model for department spending is expected to be implemented later in 2017 which makes less use of standard thresholds.
