I thank the witnesses for coming in to answer our questions today. We all know, anecdotally, that there are lots of schoolchildren looking for school places, particularly children with autism. The NCSE has stated that it is a capacity issue. That is one of the reasons we are not seeing new classes and new schools opening, and prefabs being dropped at schools. How many schools have been stalled or re-profiled due to fiscal constraints or the perception that there is a value-for-money issue?
