Despite the picture that you paint of the situation in terms of the UK, it’s the responsibility of the Government here to set priorities within its own budget. And you will be aware that the Children, Young People and Education Committee suggested strongly that there needs to be a balance of expenditure towards preventative spend, with education and schools as a central part of that. Otherwise, we will continue to lose our most experienced teachers, we’ll see increased class sizes, we’ll see further erosion of early years education and we’ll see well-being and pastoral services disappear, with the inevitable conclusion that standards will fall. So, I do hope that you will take that message clearly into your discussions with the rest of the Cabinet.

May I ask a specific question on support for the further education sector in terms of staff pay and pensions? Can you give us an update, please, because there have been no details about additional funding allocations for further education?
