Our manifesto: Will coalition deliver?

1. SMALL BUSINESS

Our manifesto: Lift unnecessary regulations, tackle National Insurance increase, assessment of enterprise taxes.

What to expect: Both parties committed to cutting regulation in their manifestos. National Insurance increase for employers to be scaled back. The coalition deal agrees the "main burden" of deficit reduction should be from spending cuts rather than tax rises.

2. MANUFACTURING

Our manifesto: Certainty in the tax system or sustainable tax breaks. Long-term view of cuts rather than slashing infrastructure spending.

What to expect: Deal promises "significant accelerated reduction" of deficit. Details of industrial plans still vague but Tory manifesto talked of vision of "lower and simpler" tax while Lib Dems pledged infrastructure bank to attract finance.

3. REGENERATION

Our manifesto: Retain Yorkshire Forward to focus on economic development, attracting investment and regeneration. Region's towns and cities must not be allowed to fall behind.

What to expect: Nothing in the draft agreement but both parties are sceptical about benefits of regional development agencies and have pledged to slim them down at best, although both manifestos said they could remain in reformed version where there is local support.

4. TRANSPORT

Our manifesto: Fair transport funding deal for the region, no shortsighted cuts to infrastructure, high-speed rail network with

direct link between Leeds, Sheffield and London.

What to expect: Coalition pledges "establishment of high-speed rail network" but does not specify routes. Tory manifesto promised line linking London to Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds while Lib Dems did not prescribe route.

5. GREEN ENERGY

Our manifesto: Ensure pilot schemes to test carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology – capturing then storing polluting emissions – start soon. Provide financial assistance where necessary to roll it out and use influence of government to attract wind turbine manufacturers.

What to expect: Deal promises "full programme of measures" to fulfil bold ambitions of both parties. Includes commitment to continuation of four CCS pilots, and creation of Green Investment Bank.

6. FARMING

Our manifesto: Measures to stop misleading labelling passing off imported meat as British. Support for struggling hill farmers.

What to expect: Farming not mentioned in seven-page coalition agreement. Both parties committed to clear labelling and Lib Dems will seek to get extra help for hill farmers.

7. RURAL

Our manifesto: Action plan for rural areas to develop appropriate affordable housing, better employment services and public transport to stop drain from countryside. Ensure rural areas benefit from superfast broadband and scrap holiday homes tax raid to boost tourism.

What to expect: Tories have committed to ditching holiday homes tax measures. Both parties back small rural developments but remains unclear what Lib Dems make of Tory plan to use slice of BBC licence fee if needed to fund broadband roll-out.

8. CARE FOR THE ELDERLY

Our manifesto: Fair and sustainable system for funding old age care which prevents people having to sell home to pay for care but provides flexibility.

What to expect: Another area not addressed in coalition document. Lib Dems proposed independent commission with cross-party support, Tory manifesto proposed 8,000 one-off voluntary insurance.

9. EDUCATION

Our manifesto: Close gap between best and worst funded authorities.

What to expect: Deal agrees "significant premium for disadvantaged pupils from outside the schools budget" funded by cuts elsewhere.

10. CRIME

Our manifesto: Police forces should work together closely to crack major crimes while retaining local police presence.

What to expect: Crime is another area not discussed in detail in the agreement. ID cards will be scrapped but Lib Dems wanted 3,000 more police officers.
