I do not have the specific figures in front of me to which the Member refers — I think that they come from a response to a question for written answer — but I am happy to correspond with him further. It goes back to my point about how we need to see investment in our further and higher education institutions in general in order for them to be able to deliver and to ensure that they are rightsized to meet the needs of the student population and to continue the important work that they do. That is why it is important that we continue the negotiations with the British Government and establish a shared position across not just the Executive but the Assembly on the need for proper and fair funding for this place.
