I have one last question. I am very conscious of time. Back-to-school expenses have traditionally revolved around schoolbooks, school uniforms, school shoes etc. This year the requirements are very different and include IT subscriptions and hardware. I was a Government backbencher when there was no funding and I am very aware that finances are always limited. Subject to funding, however, is a different back-to-school programme needed to take account of additional expenses around computers and access to broadband? These are expensive items.
