The "Budget" is 702 billion. The expense is 698 billion. Now the department expenditures is 702 billion. So they spend 4 more billions then they got. At that point I laugh.

so you see the Hm treasure.




No, look closer. The deficit is £55 billion. What I think you're confused about is that there's a £698bn allocation that seemingly magically feeds into a £702bn budget for department expenditures. However the £4bn difference comes from HM Treasury (it's quite a thin line at the bottom)
