As Monday's Spending Review looms, government spending departments are holding their breath. The Institute for Fiscal Studies gets its crystal ball out and predicts the likely winners and losers.
Gordon Brown's fourth Spending Review will be unveiled on Monday. It is expected to confirm the government's spending plans for 2005/06, the last year covered by Spending Review 2002, and to spell out how much money each spending department can expect in 2006/07 and 2007/08. So how big will the total be? How will it be divided? And which departments are likely to be the winners and losers?
