Those coalition cuts in full

Here, via the Guardian Data Blog, is what each department will be contributing to Osborne’s £6.2 billion package of cuts this year:

Department	Contribution to cuts in 2010/11, £million	% of department’s overall 2008/09 spending
Business, Innovation and Skills	836	54.60
Communities and Local Government	780	2.12
Devolved Administrations	704	1.09
Transport	683	4.44
Education	670	1.06
Work and Pensions	535	0.39
Chancellor’s Departments	451	0.41
CLG spending by local government	405	1.59
Home Office	367	3.68
Justice	325	3.35
DEFRA	162	5.23
Culture, Media and Sport	88	1.29
Energy and Climate Change	85	4.05
Cabinet Office	79	1.05
Foreign and Commonwealth Office	55	2.85
Law Officers’ Departments	18
TOTAL	6,243	1.01

Much of this will be accounted for by cuts in consultancy and travel costs, a freeze of civil service recruitment, and the termination of some government contracts, as detailed in the Treasury’s official release.  This is a necessary start, but that figure in the bottom right-hand corner of the table suggests just how much more will need to be done to deal with the £160bn annual overspend – let alone our £1 trillion debt burden.
