Perhaps the Minister will come to the House and give simple answers to the question. Another issue which is very interesting is the ESRI study of family formation over a 20-year period from 1986 to 2006. It examined the correlation between low educational attainment and high rates of pregnancy. It also examined the non-standard families that exist today. This study provides us with another opportunity to examine the future of society and how best to move it forward, which I have raised on many occasions. I do not call for a debate because we have much more important issues at present, but I would like the Leader to include it on his agenda at some stage when he finds an opportunity to do so.
