Treasury cuts: full list of projects cut or suspended

The government has scrapped or suspended projects worth £10.5bn . Of the projects, £2bn have been cut and £8.5bn suspended. An £80m loan to Sheffield Forgemasters agreed by then business secretary Lord Mandelson under the previous Labour government, but has fallen victim to the Liberal-Conservative coalition government's review of spending decisions taken since January. The Ministry of Defence took the biggest hit in the announcement on spending cuts by the chief secretary of the Treasury, Danny Alexander, who said the "fair measures" were needed to tackle Britain's biggest peacetime deficit. An MoD programme worth £4.6bn to buy search and rescue helicopters was suspended. Another expensive project, the A14 road improvement programme has been frozen, saving £1.1bn.
