There is certainly a provision about education but, from what the Minister was saying earlier, he does not mean all education. That is my problem. Taking the noble Baroness’s point, education taken for a limited number of hours—part-time training, for example—that does not receive government moneys through the Department for Education and Skills would certainly be appropriate. There should be a definition of what is allowed. It does not have to be in the Bill, but it ought to be in regulations. Clearly, a certain amount of education should and must be allowed.
