Dr. Graham Love:

I do not want to refer to it as preciousness on the part of the Department but there have been times when we have disagreed about aspects of the remit. At times it has been difficult for us because in policy and the national strategy it is very much the expectation that the HEA is the authority on these issues but, in fact, as we have figured out, in many cases, including that to which we referred earlier, we are not really in a position to implement it.
