No 10 said the Chancellor had asked them to " focus" on areas that would not affect The Service The Public receives.
However, all departments, including the Ministry of Defence, have been asked to find savings for the taxpayer.
Allies of Defence Secretary Ben Wallace say he considers maintaining the 2030 defence spending target a Red Line . A source Told The Bbc Mr Wallace would " hold the PM to the pledges made".
