There were a number of proposed definitions as part of the consultation forum with SOLAS. While I welcome the removal of this particular definition, I agree with the Chairman that we need to have some definition of "further education". I hope we can come up with a definition on which everybody can agree. I am, therefore, willing to withdraw my amendment. I would like to know the timescale that is envisaged for the passage of the Bill.

If we an come up with a definition that is suitable and agreeable to everyone, we should aim to achieve this. How much time will we have before Report Stage to see if we can have that discussion?
