I propose to take Questions Nos. 429 and 467 together.

I wish to inform the Deputies that I have been in discussions with all the education partners, which included Pre-Budget matters. I met with the Joint Managerial Body which represents all voluntary secondary schools, including fee charging schools.

I received their Pre-Budget 2015 submissions, which covered the matters raised by the Deputies.

The Deputies will appreciate that I cannot at this stage anticipate any specific decisions the Government may take in the next Budget.
