What we seek is the provision of a programme of higher education and training the majority of it provided by the authorised provider. The Bill states, "in whole or in part". I think "in whole" is desirable but, "in part" could be down in single figures. We should require the majority of it to be so provided by the person whom we are licensing in the legislation. Amendment No. 7 is a Government amendment and amendment No. 8 proposes to delete "a person" and to substitute, "a higher education institution". I do not think it is possible for a person to do this.

To continue the sequence I will deal with amendment No. 9.
