Mr. Andrew Brownlee:

Obviously there is a national IP protocol. It is the institution's responsibility, as the Deputy pointed out, to develop its own IP policy. The HEA seeks, as part of its governance of the sector, an assurance that those policies are in place and are robust. We also seek to ensure, and it is part of the requirements of the codes of governance, that the institutes have codes of conduct for employees that cover conflict of interest and limits outside activities.
