The Comprehensive Spending Review outlines the government spending over the next five years, from 2010/11 to 2014/15. Starting with a total government expenditure of £697 billion pounds in 2010/11, increasing to £740 billion for 2014/15.
Big numbers, or so we might think, but that is of course a relative statement which can only really be based on their broader numerical context.
With no one place to get a simple big picture of that broader context, I’ve put together my own one page graphical version.
