I welcome that statement and the measures that she has just identified in response to the Hazelkorn review. In her evidence to the Children, Young People and Education Committee on 10 November, she stated that, in the more immediate future—before that further consultation takes place—when she submits her annual remit letter, there'll be an expectation that, of the money that has been going to the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales, part of that is used to enhance the relationship between FE and HE. She said she’d include that in the remit letter. At the same meeting, the Minister for Lifelong Learning and Welsh Language said he doesn’t want to see a boundary between FE and HE. How, specifically, will the Cabinet Secretary ensure, in her next remit letter, which is due very soon, that that’s the case?
