As part of the measures the Chancellor took following the spending audit, departments were asked to reduce their admin budgets by 2%, saving £225 million across departments.

All savings and investments announced at the July statement have been factored into the departmental budgets for 24-25 which were set out on 30 October as part of the Spending Review. The split between programme and administration spending will be published as part of the Supplementary Estimates.
