I appreciate that. I am aware that short-term and long-term solutions are being explored. As the Minister of State acknowledged, though, about 20 children will potentially be getting home tuition in September. Everything must be done to investigate possible short-term solutions to allow those children to get in-school teaching. Medium and long-term options are great as well, if they exist and involve a greenfield site or the conversion of a building, but we must emphasise the provision of a short-term solution to this case. I look forward to the update.
