Mr. Andrew Brownlee:
The other bit of context I should have brought to the Deputy's attention, although I am sure he is aware of it anyway, is that student numbers across the institute of technology, IOT, sector over that period increased by about 24%. If an institute's numbers are relatively static or declining, it is essentially obtaining a smaller and smaller share of the funding pot for institutes of technology.
