In May 2010, the Coalition Government put in place measures to constrain spending. There are currently 5 moratoria on spending:

• a freeze on all new ICT spend above £1 million
• a freeze on all new advertising and marketing spend
• a freeze on all new consultancy spend
• increased control over new property leases and lease extensions
• a freeze on Civil Service recruitment.

In line with UK government commitments to increase transparency, we are now publishing details of all approvals granted under these 5 spending controls, we will publish this data on a quarterly basis.
