The chancellor's figures excluded Annual Managed Expenditure, which accounts for things like benefits and public sector pensions, which are not accounted for as part of an individual department's spending plans.
The total estimated 2010-11 figures were calculated from the Spending Review documents and adjusted for inflation at the Office for Budget Responsibility's forecast rates for the next four years. They were then compared with the planned figures for 2014-15 to give the figures for cuts or increases in spending.
HM Treasury was excluded because, as a result of repaid loans from banks, its 2010-11 spending is expected to be negative, making a measure of percentage cuts meaningless.
