The understanding when Mr. Travers was appointed and when he made his recommendations was that they would be the basis for agreement and that we could engage in further discussion on their implementation. I am happy to do that, but it must be on the basis that the central recommendations, such as the suspension of industrial action and some element of assessment in the classroom, are on the table. Elements I would not necessarily have proposed are also part of it. The recommendations cannot be the basis of further negotiations and must be the basis of agreement.
