Transcript

00:00You acknowledge that some people will be worse off then?

00:02Look, there's always this calculation done on the individual measures, that will be done

00:06after Wednesday, I can't comment on the individual measures today.

00:10But you do acknowledge?

00:11I can tell you the big picture.

00:12I'm not asking you to comment on individual measures, I'm saying will some people be worse

00:16off as a result of this budget?

00:18Let's see what the Chancellor says on Wednesday and then we can do that analysis.

00:21But you're involved with the decision making aren't you?

00:24Look, the budget is down to the Chancellor, I don't believe in individual measures.

00:27Are you backing away from that just in case?

00:29No, we're all behind it, but I don't know the individual measures and it would be wrong

00:33for me to comment on them.
