For the committee's information, we have sought from the HEA a registry of courses that are provided and funded or part-funded by private entities. Perhaps we will wait to see what the response is and we can then take it from there. This is a matter that we need to examine more closely. As the Committee on Public Accounts, it is public funding that we must examine, but if a company is funding a course that is directly involved in an area that the company has an interest in and that is its main line of business, which is energy or oil in this case, we should examine it in detail. Is the Deputy satisfied to wait for the response?
