If I may ask a brief supplementary question with regard to the teacher who is not a member of the TUI or the ASTI by choice, the ASTI members are being left behind. That teacher is doing the same work as the TUI members working alongside him in the school, and he is happy to sign up to the extra hours, and whatever is involved in that. The response in the parliamentary question I got previously stated it is normal practice but normal practice is not always best practice.
