In fairness, it is an issue on which I have engaged with the Minister before. It is just that we sometimes hear of a fear in schools around provision. For example, if things break well for a school in relation to the SNA allocation and it gets double, it will be only too delighted like anybody else, but sometimes schools are afraid to make an appeal in case there is row-back and they might actually lose SNAs. I did not mention specific schools.
