Chancellor Rachel Reeves has given details of the UK's first multi-year spending review since 2021.

The review sets the day-to-day budgets of government departments over the next three years, used to pay staff and deliver public services.

It also sets their investment budgets until the end of the decade, to pay for new infrastructure such as hospitals, schools, and military kit.

Here is a summary of the key points.
