The 2017 Budget, the main focus of the question, is not released until the due date of the next Learning Journal, so the aim is to finish and collectively edit the group's background and diagnosis of policy problems by 08/03/17

Our aim in this policy report is to focus in depth on 3 key aspects of the Budget and Autumn Statement.
Our initial idea is to consider the gender impact of tax (finances), welfare (support for working people) and opportunity (opportunity across the UK), because these themes are prominent in both key texts and many external sources provide useful responses in helping us to write the costs and benefits analysis and recommendations sections of our overall policy report.
