Graham Love will be in here next week. I look forward to it - I cannot wait - but the Department of Education and Skills genuinely cannot wait.

There has been a lot of media reports about his resignation letter and the reason for the resignation. Thankfully he will come in here before he leaves the role. A copy of that resignation letter is paramount to our discussions. The letter has been requested and refused under freedom of information for some media outlets but it is essential to our discussions next week and a copy of it should be supplied to the Committee of Public Accounts because next week's discussions relate to a range of issues that have been brought up before the committee. Furthermore, as we saw in the committee, the relationship between the Department and the HEA is of serious concern. According to reports, that is reflected in the contents of the letter. I would like to see the reasons for Mr. Love's resignation in order that we can go to it.
