Okay, that is fair. One thing I have heard anecdotally is that, since Covid-19, there has been an increase in the number of students going from the South to the North. The witnesses highlighted the issues with the cost of living and housing.

From speaking to people in universities in the North, it has come up that housing there is cheaper and, as a result, more students from the Border counties travel there. Also mentioned was a nod to the maximum aggregate student number, MASN. Out of interest, how much of an impact has this had?
