Budget 2013: Osborne to unveil extra £2.5bn in cuts

The government is to announce further spending cuts in Wednesday's Budget, with the savings going to large-scale infrastructure projects designed to boost economic growth.

But health, schools and HM Revenue & Customs budgets will be unaffected....

However, other government departments - such as justice, environment and Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland - will be told to deliver a further 1% cut to their day-to-day budgets in both 2013-14 and 2014-15....
