I am glad that Mr. Barnes has indicated an intention to use it in IFAC's modelling. The need to address private pension tax relief was an issue that was identified back in the days of the troika memorandum of understanding. It was one of the only ones that was not acted on. It is designed on a marginal rate that disproportionately benefits higher earners.

I refer to gender and equality-proofing measures and the sustainable development goals. IFAC is looking at these, but, as the witnesses answer other members' questions, I ask that they comment on the gender and equality-proofing, which has been identified as a key preventative expenditure policy.
