In a speech made on 9 November <\/u>Chancellor George Osborne has outlined the plans for government savings where four departments (including DCLG) will make 30% savings.<\/u>\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n
Chancellor George Osborne said on 9 November:
\n<\/u>I\u2019ll spell out the full details of the savings we will make on November 25th.<\/p>\n
But I can report to you that \u2013 with the support of my brilliant colleague Greg Hands, the Chief Secretary to the Treasury \u2013 we have reached provisional agreement on the spending plans of four government departments.<\/p>\n
The Department for Transport, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, the Department for Communities and Local Government, and of course the Treasury.<\/p>\n
The resource spending \u2013 that is the day to day spending of those four departments \u2013 will be cut on average 8% a year for the next four years, that\u2019s by 30% in total.<\/p>\n
These savings will be achieved by a combination of further efficiencies in departments, closing low value programmes, and focusing on our priorities as a country.<\/p>\n
These provisional settlements apply to the day to day resource spending of the central departments – they are not the capital budgets of these departments.<\/p>\n
