Dr. Richard Thorn:

To be honest, I do not know. I am not sure it has been considered yet by the board of the HEA. It might well have been but the information has certainly not yet been published. I believe the review is called the Granville review but I am open to correction on that.

The final question is on the pressure that the higher education sector has been under. The headline figures are a 25% increase in students and an almost 50% decrease in the core grant. That puts any sector under pressure. The first of the main factors that have to be dealt with over the next couple of years within higher education is deciding from a political perspective what funding model will be used. We have had the Cassells report but I am agnostic about which part of it should be implemented. Something needs to happen, however, if higher education is to continue to grow and develop, particularly considering the anticipated numbers coming in.
