Do budget speeches usually make a point of listing every known detail of a

The government made a particular effort to emphasise that projects
outside London and the South East were not being cut. That meant that
the future of projects in London and the South East was specifically
excluded from being mentioned.


That's my assumption - it's a political gesture, not a list of the 'saved'
projects with all absentees being cancelled.



Exactly.
