I propose to take Questions Nos. 113 to 115, inclusive, together.

As I have previously advised my Department is currently reviewing operational elements of the home tuition schemes, including the appointment of tutors. I now wish to clarify that this review is ongoing. I have no plans currently to make changes to the eligibility criteria for the home tuition scheme.
