I thank the Minister and the Minister of State for appearing before the committee. Am I correct in saying current students who will continue on the Erasmus+ programme after 29 March should not have concerns? Has there been an analysis of the number of students in the North who are travelling to the South? If the number is dropping, has there been any consideration of the reasons for it, apart from Brexit? Who would make that analysis? Has there been any examination of the choices students in the North make to study in the South?
