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.

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.
