I note the Minister, Deputy Harris, has reduced the student fees. To go back to the issue of the child benefit, I really would like to do something for those families where the child is still at secondary school. As has been said, many children are now not starting school until they are five. Then, if they do transition year, there could be some people who miss out because the child will turn 18 when they are in sixth year or at the start of it. I will certainly look at it but it will be a matter for the budget. Like all budgets, it will be about what we can prioritise in terms of what is available.
