As the Deputy has pointed out, the school book publishers have signed up to a code of practice, in effect. They have agreed to limit substantially the number of reprints, by comparison with what happened in the past. The Minister is adamant that their performance under the voluntary code of practice will be closely monitored. I argue that there will be further consequences, in terms of the relationship between the Department and the publishers, if it transpires that the code of practice is not being honoured. It is more than coincidental that I am delivering this response with the assistance of an iPad.
