MTFP Addition With regards to the confidential Framework of Impact Assessments provided by the Council of Ministers, the Panel noted receipt of a draft briefing paper by its adviser, CIPFA, on the content of the Framework.

In the context of the advisor's comments, the Panel noted that input from the States Statistics Unit would be very valuable in considering the impact of measures proposed in the MTFP.
