Spending Review 2010 policy costings
This document sets out detail on the assumptions and methodologies underlying costings for Annually Managed Expenditure (AME) policies announced at Spending Review 2010. This provides similar information on policy costings as the Budget 2010 document ‘Budget 2010 policy costings’ and reflects the Government’s commitment to increase transparency in the public finances.
Chapter 1 briefly explains the methodology and general principles for calculating the cost or yield of policy decisions. Chapter 2 includes detailed information on the key assumptions applied in all major policy costings in the Spending Review that affect the AME forecast. Chapter 3, by the OBR, sets out the approach the OBR has taken to scrutiny and certification of the costings, and highlights areas of particular uncertainty.
Spending Review 2010 policy costings is available in Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF). If you do not have Adobe Acrobat installed on your computer you can download the software free of charge from the Adobe website.
