@EducateCareers Round 1 Imagine you were spending £100 of the Government’s money. How would you divide it across the 9 different departments? You must fund every department with at least £1. Round 2 Due to budget cuts you now only have £70 to spend. How would you divide it this time? You must still fund each department with at least £1.

@EducateCareers This is how the Government actually divides £100 (it’s rounded up so totals £101). The chart below shows how welfare and benefits are funded. The single biggest expense for the Government is paying for pensions.
