The Comprehensive Spending Review Thread

So, tomorrow sees the unveiling of Chancellor George Osborne's Comprehensive Spending Review...

Early news, not yet official until tomorrow, includes the decision to freeze the TV Licence for six years, & make the BBC cover the cost of the World Service and S4C: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-11572171


Meanwhile, the science budget will be spared from "deep" cuts: http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/20...-budget-spared


... And the Government expects a reduction in public sector workforce numbers of 490,000 by 2014-15: http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2...ument-job-cuts



In the meantime, have some fun conducting your own Spending Review! Can you save more money than George Osborne, or make the same savings elsewhere? http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/i...P=NECNETTXT766
