And we also understand there are £3.5 billion-worth of cuts still to come in the pipeline. Now, you should do the maths, the same as I can.

Let me conclude. I won’t test the patience of the Deputy Presiding Officer any further. Further education has seen a transformation; it has been proactive in pursuing a radical change agenda. This Government wishes to pursue that agenda, which is to continue thinking in radical ways about how we can ensure that we have parity of esteem and we have the delivery of high-quality education consistently across the whole of this country. We will continue to work with the further education sector to deliver that, and I trust that Members on all sides of the Chamber will support the Government in doing so. Thank you very much.
