Ms Louise Bayliss:

On the point regarding transparency, we believe that transparency is the way forward. While our mantra is equality budgeting, we are not assuming that equality encompasses only financial equality. It covers issues such as environmental impact and all of the other issues mentioned. Equality is not only financial. An impact assessment should be eventually incorporated into everything. It is not only about income. It must be borne in mind that we are speaking about the budget. As such, people's minds will obviously be focused on the financial impacts. An impact assessment should allow other impacts to be noted and argued and, also, should be transparent.
