whilst Lord Freud has said, in response to SSAC’s call for a cumulative impact assessment of welfare reform, that -

‘We agree that cumulative impact analysis can be useful in some cases ... [but] it is not possible to break down ... results to smaller sub-groups of the population accurately. In particular, the amount of information on families required to do this accurately would be prohibitive; and we do not consider that results can be reliably disaggregated for disabled people ...’

Government ‘unable’ to accept call for cumulative impact of welfare reform

.. the National Institute of Economic and Social Research seems to have managed it somehow ...

Impacts of tax and welfare reforms are more negative for families containing at least one disabled person

He clearly needs a cloud agility platform.

Am I a bad person that my first thought about the ‘cloud agility platform’ is that hopefully it could be something he could be flung from?
