Chancellor to spell out how axe will fall on Whitehall budgets that were not protected in election manifesto pledge

George Osborne will announce big cuts in spending for the police, social care, local government, further education, renewable energy and welfare as he is forced to finally spell out how he plans to have reduced spending in key government departments cumulatively by nearly 50% since the Conservatives came to power in 2010.

After weeks of media focus on protected Whitehall departments, the chancellor will detail how the cuts will fall across the rest of government departments.
