Amendment No. 9 proposes to ensure that there is a reference to higher education. Amendment No. 10 is the final amendment in this section.

I will state our proposals more succinctly. Amendment No. 2 proposes a definition of higher education; amendment No. 6 proposes to concentrate on the provision of a programme of education and training and to leave out the reference to marketing and research; and amendment No. 7 is a Government amendment. We have discussed amendment No. 8. Amendment No. 9 refers to higher education; amendment No. 10 proposes that all but definitely the majority of the products should be provided by the person who is being licensed under this legislation.

These amendments attempt to tighten definitions as asked for by the Minister and they are offered in that co-operative spirit.
