Cuts

The Chancellor, George Osborne, is using zero based budgeting to reset the country's battered finances.

He has ordered a purge of capital spending, and review of every single capital expenditure project, to run alongside the annual expenditure cuts demanded of every department of between 25% and 40%.

It is likely that the 40% target is being used as an exercise to "scare the chickens" into grudgingly rolling over and accepting 25% cuts.
