Dr. Graham Love:
It is just a timing issue with how the funding is allocated. It is actually a growing programme. This is important because it is nice to talk about something strategic for a moment. The Springboard programme is fundamentally changing. It was born in a time of 15% unemployment, which it was an excellent measure for combating that. It is morphing into a programme for upskilling within jobs because we have moved down to between 4% and 5% unemployment, which is a significant change in the programme.
