On public private partnerships, there is concern that services around the technological universities will not be retained in public ownership. In other words, they will be in the ownership of the public private partnership. I would like to see greater evaluation of that to ensure that we are delivering value for money, but also that we are keeping higher education as a public good, which I think the Minister of State will agree with.
