5:10 pm

Yes. The Senator made a point generally about definitions, but I am advised that this is the correct terminology. However, I am willing to look at it again before Report Stage.
There are a number of later amendments at which I am willing to look again before Report Stage, but I cannot accept the proposals made in this instance. Amendment No. 6 would have the effect of deleting the purpose in marketing programmes of education provided by an authorised provider or the research services of an authorised provider. We could argue whether marketing what one provides is an appropriate purpose. I argue that it is appropriate if a university is providing services in another country or for students coming from another country. They need to tell them what they do and explain the services and courses they provide and the research they conduct.
